Merry christmas everyone - Spare a thought for the people who can't celebrate christmas properly for one reason or another.

'round these parts, the Jews just call it "Chinese food and movies day" and get along OK... :dunno:

Ahem. But seriously, yes--unfortunately, I can think of a few too many that are having tough times lately.

--

Anyway, I couldn't care too much about Christmas proper, being atheist an all. Also, the joy of receiving gifts has long since worn off, and nearly all of the kids in my family are now past that age, too. However, I'm certainly not immune to a bit of holiday cheer and I find myself exchanging smiles and good wishes and sparing a little cash for whatever cause more and more around this time as the years go by.

(Plus, Christmas parties can be real riots.)

AGAIN we celebrate the victory of Light over Darkness, of the God of day over the hosts of night. Again Samson is victorious over Delilah, and Hercules triumphs once more over Omphale. In the embrace of Isis, Osiris rises from the dead, and the scowling Typhon is defeated once more. Again Apollo, with unerring aim, with his arrow from the quiver of light, destroys the serpent of shadow. This is the festival of Thor, of Baldur and of Prometheus. Again Buddha by a miracle escapes from the tyrant of Madura, Zoroaster foils the King, Bacchus laughs at the rage of Cadmus, and Chrishna eludes the tyrant.

This is the festival of the sun-god, and as such let its observance be universal.

This is the great day of the first religion, the mother of all religions -- the worship of the sun.

Sun worship is not only the first, but the most natural and most reasonable of all. And not only the most natural and the most reasonable, but by far the most poetic, the most beautiful.

The sun is the god of benefits, of growth, of life, of warmth, of happiness, of joy. The sun is the all-seeing, the all-pitying, the all-loving.

This bright God knew no hatred, no malice, never sought for revenge.

All evil qualities were in the breast of the God of darkness, of shadow, of night. And so I say again, this is the festival of Light. This is the anniversary of the triumph of the Sun over the hosts of Darkness.

Let us all hope for the triumph of Light -- of Right and Reason -- for the victory of Fact over Falsehood, of Science over Superstition.

And so hoping, let us celebrate the venerable festival of the Sun.

I think the blonde guy is Scottish lad Hamill I'm sure I have a picture of him and Kevin McDonald with Valerenga when he used to go to the Fox Cubs training sessions. The other guy looks like a young Larry May.

Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year to one and all.
