Assuming we’re done with new reviews before the holidays…
As the nominal webmaster here, I want to wish you and yours a happy and safe Christmas/Hannukah/Solstice/Festivus/Whatever. (I can’t wish you a happy Kwanzaa, because I’m far too white, and thus would be excoriated for my social inauthenticity.)
« ….and a merry Et Al. to you all

“whatever the Norse/Scandinavian holiday that was celebrated on December 25″
Yule. As in the log, which is where the Christians snagged it from. And while we’re piling on temporally appropriate pagan holidays, the late-Roman Mithraists celebrated Mithra’s birth on December 25th, too.

Is that so? That would explain the two 18-inch-tall carolers I got, singing “Mi-thu-raaaa-ya, Mi-thu-raaaa…”
I personally conduct a campaign every year to Keep the Saturn in Saturnalia. Io, io, everybody!

“…I want to wish you and yours a happy and safe Christmas…”
As long as they don’t point the bottle rockets directly at my wife and I, I think we should be alright.
A Merry Christmas (and I’ll add whatever the Norse/Scandinavian holiday that was celebrated on December 25) to you all! May you all have visions of grapes of death dancing in your heads tonight.
