Oh, Christmas Tree

This week I'm refraining from my usual insightful observations and witty banter (tic) to sit back and enjoy the holidays.
Be sure to check out the current "Image of the Week" in the side panel; it has an interesting twist.
The intention of this post is not to promote any particular sect, exclude any person or groups, or to impose any beliefs on those who don't acknowledge the sentiment. It is simply to extend to all [during this holiday season] a wish for peace, light, and happiness.
Quote of the Week: "Whoever said 'money can't buy happiness' didn't know where to shop."

Froehliche Weihnachten, gieau.
Und einen guten Rutsch in das Neue Jahr.
Thanks schauml, all the best to you, too.
PS: I made the correction :-)
no, no, no...
put those dots back over the "o" in Frohliche.
Those are called Umlauts and changes the pronunciation of the "o". Anybody (or I at least) who doesn't have Umlaut symbols on their keyboard puts an "e" behind the vowell to indicate the pronunciation change. Sorry, didn't mean to confuse you. :) And I added the "e" without even thinking about it. Just wanted to say Merry Christmas and a good slide into the New Year.
So goes lession 1 in German 101 :-)
I put back the umlauts.
Incidentally, I don't have that symbol on my keyboard either...I achieve it by using the ascii code (& # 214 ;) without the spaces.
The spaces were necessary [for this example] or else the browser would simply display (Ö).
