Wishing You A Very Merry Christmas!

Wishing you a joyful Christmas and Happy Holidays from the entire team at Blueshirt Banter. In our inaugural year at this new home following our departure from our longstanding one, your unwavering support has underscored that Banter wouldn’t be the vibrant community it is without you. The transition to an independent site, coupled with reconnecting with some of our former colleagues, has presented challenges and unique moments. Your support and understanding mean the world to us, and we are truly grateful.

As we celebrate this Christmas Day, we sincerely hope you find joy in whatever way you choose to spend it. We recognize that holidays can be a challenging time, especially after the events of the past three years, which have reshaped the way we celebrate and reflect. We understand that times are tough, and life remains a challenge.

The year 2023, akin to its predecessors, has thrown curveballs our way, testing our resilience. We are aware that some readers may have lost a loved one this year, making this season particularly difficult. Please know that you and those who are grieving are in our thoughts, and we believe in the strength of our collective journey through these

hardships.

What makes our community beautiful is the diversity of its members, all united by our love for the New York Rangers. Whether you are a dedicated daily reader, a silent observer, or somewhere in between, you are an integral part of this community. We think of you and are grateful to be your chosen space. To those who have joined us recently, welcome, and to everyone who has followed us, we are delighted for your presence.

There’s no seamless transition, but we genuinely hope your stocking, tree, or thoughtful gifts have brought you some fantastic Rangers swag. However, you decide to spend the day—whether in person, through the magic of the Internet, or in solitude—we hope it brings you joy.

For those who celebrated Hanukkah, we trust it was a wonderful experience in whatever manner you chose to observe it. And to those gearing up for Kwanzaa starting on Tuesday, our best wishes go out to you.

Thank you for being an essential part of our community and for contributing to what makes BSB the special place it is. Here’s to a fantastic 2024 for you, your loved ones, the hockey community, and Blueshirt Banter.

Sending you abundant well wishes, love, and support.
