Happy Holidays

The Holiday Season began last Saturday for our Jewish brothers and sisters with the first night of Hanukkah. This festival of lights concludes this Saturday night.

Friday marks the Winter Solstice. From Dong Zhi to Yule, who can't celebrate the returning of the Sun in the darkest part of the year?

Christmas takes place on Monday and commemorates the birth of Yehoshua (later to be known as Jesus), regarded by Christians as a savior and by Muslims as a prophet.

Kwaanza begins on Tuesday - African Americans celebrate unity, self-determination, collective work and responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity, and faith - Happy 40th birthday, Kwaanza!

This page encourages you to learn more about all of these important occasions, and understand that no one has the right to tell you how to celebrate at this time of year. If none of these holidays work for you, there's always Festivus.

On December 31, all of us can gather to ring in the New Year. Be sure to drop by this page for my look back at 2006, and enjoy the fireworks...Shout-outs to RevMod Don, the Vansterdam Kid, Zirin on the Edge, Matt Good, Canadian, Little Thought, Babblers, and the delicious to my vicious, Walnut Boat. Peace.
