I have no problem that pagans have a Yule and Christians a Christmas, even if the rituals of the season are borrowed from one source or another. Where I have a problem is in the spiritual calendars of the Southern Hemisphere, where we eat turkey when it's 40C in the shade and throw a resurrection of life festival when everyone's putting their scarves on. Surely not good for the environment, and certain to send us all a little screwy.

At least the Saturnalian hedonism has survived the Christian purges, even it much of the feasting has been turned towards technology-eating. Good luck with the book Van.Benito Di Fonzohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13528051579630050132noreply@blogger.com
