I'd like to thank Margaret for reminding us that it is now the Orthodox period of Christmas.
In Beaker tradition, we have very few sad festivals. Those that we do have, we try to get through by hiding under our duvets and drinking camomile tea (although not at the same time - that would require a risk assessment).
And we weren't looking forward to the January mope towards Black Monday. But now we can celebrate Christmas again until then! And as a bonus, we can rejoice knowing that we have been truly ecumenical. We will be lighting an incense tea light in the Moot House, and Hnaef can get back up in the attic right now and recover the Christmas tree. The Fairytale of New York is back on Radio Husborne Crawley, we're out scouring for a new Yule Log. Somehow we seem to have a purpose again. Apart, that is, from trying to find another branch of the faith that maybe celebrates Christmas in February. You can't have too much of a good thing.
