This really sounds like the 'American Christmas'.
Especially, if we add a present brawl at the local consumer Mall which of
course is our acknowledged national pop up holy place.
The Mall is now where young children are also taught to give plastic
offerings and worship the SALE signs.
And then their is the other happening though for us just an abstract. The
sun is experienced as ascending and the long night is soon ending.
But this 3.5 billion year 'phenomena' just can't hold a candle to our own
recognition that it is all about us.
But having clarified Christmas for the few doubters i also wish you all a
Merry solstice and I hope pleasant stroll through the soon to be New Year.
