I wish you a Merry Christmas
And a Happy New Year
A pocket full of money
And a cellar full of beer!

Now, thrice welcome, Christmas!
Which brings us good cheer,

Wherever good fellows are found;
Be its master instead of its vassal,
And order the glasses around.

Not just alone for Christmas

Merry Old Christmas,
Gift-bearing, heart-touching, joy-brining Christmas,
Day of grand memorie, king of the year.

While not quite a toast, I've always been fond of a particular Scottish saying at tea time:
Some ha'e meat and cannae eat.
Some can eat but want it.
But we ha'e meat, and we can eat.
And so the lord be thank it.
Amen.

Amarantha. Nice to see you join in here. Whilst I am all in favor of engaging in a bit of bawdiness and ribaldry, Even I winced a bit at the last line of your toast. Might you edit that "one" word for the sake of decorum and out of respect to the ladies present on the board?

Technically, I am a Woman of Refined Vices. But I do not object to masculine forms of address. Now sheol (my fiance), he might object...
Lead me not into temptation; I can find it myself.

My sincere apology for my myopic assumption on your gender. I'm reminded of what happens when one "assumes".Amarantha wrote:Technically, I am a Woman of Refined Vices. But I do not object to masculine forms of address. Now sheol (my fiance), he might object...
Indeed, I consider you a Woman of Refined Vices.

"If all be true that I do think,
There are five reasons why men drink,
Good wine, a friend, or being dry,
Or lest we should be by-and-by,
Or any other reason why."

"To those merry souls assembled here, who make eating & drinking a pleasure;
Who achieve contentedness long before capacity;
And who, whenever they drink, prove able to carry it, enjoy it and remain gentlemen."

"There's many a toast I'd like to say,
If only I could drink it;
So fill your glass to anything,
And thank the Lord I'll drink it!"
~Wallace Irwin

"Let the toast pass,
Drink to the lass,
I'll warrent she'll prove,
An excuse for the glass."

And of course,
Cheers!

Glad you like it (& glad to be here)! That's one of my favorites as well - 'Vic is very much my personal hero...
Oh it occurs to me that I'd left a portion of that last toast I'd posted out (I always forget that part when making that toast anyway). It should read:
"Here's to the maiden of bashful sixteen;
Here's to the widow of fifty;
Here's to the flaunting, extravagent queen;
And here's to the housewife that's thrifty!
Let the toast pass;
Drink to the lass;
I'll warrent she'll prove an excuse for the glass!"
~Richard Sheridan, "The School for Scandal" (by way of W.C. Whitfield's Here's How! - Mixed Drinks, 1941)
Cheers!

I just realized i haven`t made any toast yet..
So here are my toasts:
Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow.
Don't walk behind me, I may not lead.
Walk beside me, and just be my friend.
The Lord gives us our relatives,
Thank God we can choose our friends.
And here is “Manuia!” which is “Tahitian for “cheers!
