to all our CR readers and commenters. You’re a great bunch of people and you’ve helped make a tough year bearable. May you have a peaceful and happy Christmas and a good 2014. Thanks to Gantt and Darin for helping keep this leaky old tub afloat, too.
Update: not my photograph. I only wish it was! Photographer unknown.

Great photo!
To you ,Gecko and all your readers, all the best for the festive season.
Thanks KG. May you and Gecko have a peaceful Christmas and a healthy and prosperous year ahead.
I’m sure all the visitors here will join me in thanking you for keeping a truly great blog going and the great bunch of people who comment on it. I also wish them and theirs peace over Christmas and prosperity in the New Year.
Hear, hear. Thank you KG, and to all like minded folk. Merry CHRISTmas and a happy new year.
It’s good to see you and Carol’s emphasis on the ‘Christ’ in Christmas, HTD.

Have a very fine 2014. (and it’ll probably be even cooler than 2013, non?)
Love the photo- is it one of yours-Gecko?
Merry CHRISTmas to all here- thank you for your continued stand for FREEDOM–
C-CS
And a Merry Christmas to you too.
What a wonderful picture. 2 generations doing a good job.
Very typical of the people around here, Findalis. Much maligned by city greenies and latte lefties as ignorant rural know-nothings, yet a surprising number of them have outstanding educations and have travelled widely.
This guy would be just as likely to be the owner of a vast cattle station, putting in a long, hard day and it’s a safe bet that his wife is every bit as involved and capable.
Wonderful people.
Merry Christmas to all of you!
To all of you, brothers and sisters of like mind, from wherever you hail and to wherever you are heading, to you come my warmest thoughts and my very best wishes for a Merry Christmas and, hopefully, a far better New Year
Merry Christmas to all here – keep up the great work KG!
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to Captain KG, General Gecko and the entire Crusader Rabbit family.

Thanks, GG. Nice version of that song, too.
Thanks to everyone for making this feel like home! Merry Christmas!

Oh, yes!
And a Merry Christmas to KG and troops from me as well. It’s nice to see no ‘Happy Holidays’ BS here.
Have a damn good one, Conservative, from all of us. And a prosperous 2014.
Merry Christmas to all here.
Always a pleasure to visit and a privilege to comment.
The music posted always seems as diverse and varied as the posters.
Lots of versions of this song about, but to my humble ear,
this is the best one.

Thanks, MvL.
Have you seen the vid of Allison Moorer’s version of the song? It’s a beauty.
Merry Christmas everyone and all, and thanks KG for letting us share your place.
Thank you for commenting here, John.
The very best to you and Gecko for the festive season and 2014 KG.
And Best Wishes to the rest of the litter in the burrow.
Thanks Wratty.
You take care, eh? Don’t forget to lower the wheels……
Merry Christmas Folks

A most holy and joyous Christmas to KG, Gecko and all the good folks who visit here. A special thank you to KG and Gecko for their support over the last 3 months. Medusa is proud of you.
2013 was a sad year for you Michael, and I know I speak for everybody when I say how much we felt for you. And we miss Medusa, her honesty and acid wit. I’m sorry we couldn’t do more to ease your pain.
But I know she’d want us to be happier in 2014 and I can hear her voice telling us to “stop bloody moaning and get on with it”.
So, we will.
May 2014 be peaceful and happy for you. And there’s always a warm welcome and a cold beer at our place for you, remember.
@KG:
Merry Christmas from The Great Northwest of America
Neat picture of the big cowboy and the little cowboy – here in the USA we frequently forget that other countries like Australia have their own version of the free and independent cowboy herding the cows.
“Give me land, lots of land under starry skies above, DON’T FENCE ME IN!”
Good to see you, Ronbo.
After living out West anywhere else is going to feel claustrophobic. Every time we go to the coast the noise and the traffic and the people get to us after a few hours and it’s damn good to see that long, empty road home.
About 0500 tomorrow I’m going for a shoot and there won’t be another car on the road there or back. A man could die out there and not be found for months.
OK- there is one great thing about living where I live in LA- I have my horse in my own back yard–
Again-
Merry CHRISTmas to ALL –

Merry Christmas to you and yours Keith. May the peace and serenity of Christmas be yours both now and throughout the coming year. You are a man of true character, and it is my privilege to call you a friend.
Thank you, William–the sentiment is mutual. I hope you have a very fine 2014.
Troops To Officer: “Merry JESUS CHRIST Christmas, SIR!”
I was looking at the time on my last post and it’s Christmas Day already in the wonderful world of Oz…
It’s 1 p.m. Christmas eve here on the USA Pacific coast.
Interesting…So when I’m talking direct to KG – I’m talking to the future

If I’m the future….we’re stuffed.
If your the future,,then stuff all else and send us tomorrows Lotto numbers
‘According to the Liberty Institute, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is refusing to allow school children to give Christmas cards to veterans if those cards say “Merry Christmas” or “God bless you.” Religious liberty lawyers have sent the VA a letter demanding they immediately lift the ban…’

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Thanks to all here who help me keep sane.
@KG: All part of Obama’s war on Christianity…
This is because Islam, Satan worship, and Socialism are his allies.
America needs a Regime Change

Merry Christmas KG and Gecko.
