Default Xmas/Holiday PA's

So... I was just wondering for all of us who get the joy of flying over Christmas, and various other holidays this year, what are some funny announcements you've made or heard made on Christmas/Christmas eve/ any other of the million holidays this time of the year?

I posted this in regional because I figure we fly more legs than anyone and probably deadhead more than anyone too... so we would probably get the best gathering of responses here? Share your funnies!

Instead of saying Merry Christmas, i say MerryChrismaHoniKwanza. This way you don't offend anybody and they all get a laugh out of it..

Last night the CA today had me say ... "Folks, this is FO Rudolph and CA Kris Kringle, we've been cleared to runway 31 and looks like we are #3 for takeoff. Will Santa's little Elves please prepare the cabin for departure. Thank you."

I thought it was corny as hell. But, after we landed, all of the kids loved it and the people in the back had a good laugh and the flight attendants told us that they thought it was funny.

I probably would have laughed as well, but mostly because it would've been corny as hell.
