You too Dave and everyone on here. May all your bot issues be little ones.

Yes, merry Christmas and a happy New Year to all, from my family to all of yours
.. ... and from my bot, Abel, to all your bots  
(although my bot has no information yet regarding christmas/new years lol)

I’ll be with the family tomorrow: so merry Christmas to all!

Happy Holidays to all my new found friends here on Chatbots!

Have a good one everyone, whatever you are doing

Happy Holidays!
You are all very special people to me!

Seasons Greetings everyone.

FWIW it’s almost 10am Christmas morning and I’ve been coding since 5am, working on parsing determiner phrases.

Still waiting for our grown-up kids to wake up so we can do the present opening ritual and head out to the grandparents place for Christmas dinner. Would like to get even for all those years when we got dragged out of bed at 6am by hyperactive kids, but wife won’t let me wake them up.

..... been coding since 5am….......

 

I haven’t started that early in awhile, but you’re motivating me to start again sir!

Here in Canada, it is only 6:22 pm Christmas eve still

Which chatbots are responding to the season? That’s apparently something natural to do…
