Festivus still is about the best truly American-style celebration of the Winter solstice. All the others either mandate or suggest some kind of superstition. So, this will do until there is a December manifestation from the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

Since many of our readers live and work within the boundaries of nations and cultures that celebrate something-or-other, this month – just thought I’d take the opportunity to wish you happiness in the coming year. Enjoy your family and friends.

    Eideard, by any chance are you a member of the tribe? The use of the Seinfeld (member in good standing) clip was too clever on a couple of different levels.

    Merry F*#@ing Christmas!
