At this time of year, should I say,
Merry Christmas - lets celebrate the birth of the Christ Child?
... or
Merry Saturnalia!!! Lets party on....
The later seems to be what most folks celebrate these late days of December. I love my Christmas tree but wonder if it is really a Saturnalia Tree. The way the world has evolved, facts and details gone missing, questions unanswered or not asked, just go with the flow. Here in the tropics, the Christian celebration is done at church and the Saturnalia (Roman winter festival) celebration goes right on till the New Year! I seem confused??? You Bet!!! These are just two of many occasions to be celebrated!
We wish you all the holiday traditions you love and enjoy...embrace the old, ring in the new!!! You'll be in our thoughts as we spread good cheer this week!

Very few people celebrate "Christmas" anymore, it's all about decorations and presents. That's fine, it is what it is, but I think Seinfeld was on to something with Festivus.
