Season’s Greetings

December 21st, 2009

Christmas?  Pish!  A newfangled institution.

New Year?  Piffle!  Nearly as fresh out of the box as Christmas.

Now if you want a good honest decent festival, pick one that predates those two pretenders by thousands of years.

Happy Solstice everyone.

    And a Happy Solstice to you Grandad. Glad to see you are not up for celebrating these come-day go-day middle eastern cults run by Germans from Rome. I’m more of a traditionalist like yourself.

    Cap’n – Many Happy Returns.  It’s time these upstarts were put in their place?

    Back in Italy would be a good start.

    Stewart – And a Merry Juul to you.  Grievances?   Who would have anything to complain about?

    Cap’n – Landfill?

    Let me wish all my fellow pagans a very happy Yuletide. I will even extend the felicitations to you upstart Christians. It was so good of you, all those centuries ago, to fiddle the birthdate of Jesus to fit in with our festival.

    Ah fuck! And I had a lovely bottle wrapped up for you as well. I hope you don’t mind if I crack it open myself then and have a drink to the darkest day.

    Not Twitter – You bastard!!  Giving lovely bottles is a six thousand year old tradition at Solstice.  I hope it gives you heartburn.
