Best wishes to everyone - I hope people who are grieving have the space to mourn, and people who are lonely find connection and support.
I hope anyone who feels stressed out by their own or other people's expectations can push those expectations away a bit and acknowledge that you're doing great, however things turn out.
I hope people who are estranged from family can protect themselves from the hurt of being rejected or that sadness of having to cut family off for the sake of staying well.
Good luck to you all!
Well I was about to write some last words to wrap up the night, but I couldn't say it better than @greenspace 
Take care of yourselves over this rollercoster of a silly season.
If you're looking for people to hangout with over Christmas, @Phoenix_Rising started an awesome thread called Lets Make Christmas Fun which will be active in the lead up and on Christmas day. Please be sure to drop by and say hi if you haven't already.
Thank you all for being so open with your love or loathing (or both) of Christmas. It's good to know we're not alone!
Thank you for tonight @NikNik. I hope you have fun with your bazillion relatives. Have you ever considered selling some of them on ebay...
