To the person who brought over cookies the other day, for the Christmas holiday; I just wanted to thank you. I wasn't here, and my children do not know who you are.....they just ate the cookies! Thank you so much, and have a great holiday!

Yuletide Greetings

 

I hope everyone's holiday is wonderful this year!

Yuletide Greetings

I hope everyone's holiday lived up to all happy dreams and expectations!

Sol and Winter Solstice

 

And so it begins; the yearly nonsense over "Happy Holidays" and "Merry Christmas". It really doesn't matter, I suppose, as long as you remember to keep Sol in Winter Solstice!

Christmas In Frankfort, Kansas

Once in royal david's city stood a lonely cattle shed,
Where a mother held her baby.
You'd do well to remember the things he later said.
When youre stuffing yourselves at the christmas parties,
You'll just laugh when I tell you to take a running jump.
You're missing the point I'm sure does not need making
That christmas spirit is not what you drink.

So how can you laugh when your own mothers hungry,
And how can you smile when the reasons for smiling are wrong?
And if I just messed up your thoughtless pleasures,
Remember, if you wish, this is just a christmas song.

(Hey! Santa! Pass us that bottle, will you? )

It Came Upon A Midnight Clear

Have an awesome Yule, everyone! Enjoy the rebirth of Light!

I'm Getting Nothing For Christmas

There will be no Christmas for me this year
That is the unvarnished truth

Above is a stray "wahwah" from a flock of "wahwahs" left over from Christmas, 2013. It got lost in Facebook, on the page of a homeless person who has been offered help many times over the past twenty years, but turns it down every time because she does not want the employment situation which would accompany a permanent address. The wahwah girl is someone who has an income, of sorts, and refuses to use it for food and shelter. Instead, she uses it for computers, and other electronics, and for accessories for them. She stays in shelters that are meant for people experiencing true emergencies. She also eats three times as much as she needs, caring very little about any children for whom the food is meant.

Santa Claus isn't real. This is important to remember when celebrating Christmas. Santa Claus isn't real, and Christmas is best celebrated by giving, not taking from those who cannot afford to buy into the commercial ideal that has perverted Winter Solstice.



The Wahwah girl who didn't have a Christmas this year needs to grow up. That is the unvarnished truth.

 

Seasons Greetings

Seasons Greetings, all! This is how the Gift Giver looked before he was trademarked by Coca-Cola. He was rumored to have actually been Odin, the All Father.

 

Last Minute Shopping?

Holiday Shopping? Don't do this:
 

Do this instead:

 

Before the retail industry dictated our holiday celebrations, food was a traditional Winter Solstice gift. Especially prepared from scratch.

 

Keep Sol In Winter Solstice

 

Here's wishing the jesus-christing crowd would get over themselves. Please keep Sol in Winter Solstice!

 

Keep Sol In Winter Solstice

 

Whenever someone feels the need to tell yours truly to keep christ in Christmas, I usually shake my head and respond with the admonishment, "Keep Sol in Winter Solstice"! And I suppose the discount stores should keep the "L" and the "I" in "flickering lights".

 

Happy Holidays Terri Horman

 

Terri Horman! You've been bad this year! And last year! And the year before! And especially the year before that! Santa completely bypassed the lumps of coal and went directly to court summonses for you this year! The dates of those summons are right before Winter Solstice, December 19 and 20, and right after New Year's, January 2! No time, even for a hangover! What could Santa possibly be trying to say by that, Terri? That you've enjoyed enough holiday seasons at the expense of others? What'd you do?

 

 

Terri, where's Kyron?

 

In Case You Slept Through Church This Sunday

 

Don't forget there's a "war" on Christmas!

In Case You Missed Church On Sunday

Listen to an "Old Fart" talk about the annual holiday whine about the "War On Christmas"! And have a great holiday!
 

Could Santa Possibly Be Real?

Keep Sol In Winter Solstice

To those who preach "keep Christ in Christmas", I say this: keep Sol in Winter Solstice!

If You Skipped Church On Christmas

Not too long ago, I came across this. The author gave me permission to use it. She would love to see Lisa Irwin found.

I am not particularly religious, and I do not think it is necessary that we all subscribe to the same religion. I do; however, think these beautiful young activists have something to teach us. Have a great holiday, everyone!
