Deck The Halls

It is the Winter Solstice, or rather more accurately, it is the day of the solstice in the northern hemisphere on the Greenwich meridian. We passed into new year at 6:08 this morning. Today is one of the two days a year I do not work, so do not expect anything from me except a brief note to the effect that the Sun King is born. Evergreens symbolise the eternal nature of life, hence the decking of the halls.

For those of you foolish enough to be tricked by Christian churches and capitalism into worshiping Santa (just move those letters around to see WHO SANTA REALLY IS) I suggest Xmas Resistance a charitable, friendly enterprise which will help to release you from the hegemony of annual compulsory consumption.

Remember: Santa's carbon footprint is massive, and pagans have all the best tunes.
