Cool, so it's still worth eschewing /s

I would like to note though that xmas is a very sore time of year for a lot of people (mostly queer, but others too) who do not have a good relationship with their family

That's why I think it's important that we bring Christmas back to its true religious roots: Fertility, hunting, and maybe a cult of the dead.

Well, that and I just kind of want to piss off all of my pearl clutching relatives.

But seriously, thank you for the reminder that this can be a particularly hard season.

I hope your solstice is marked by good times with real friends and chosen family.

Forget all the other traditions, the true meaning of the season is a battle of rhymes with a skeletal horse

It's so beautiful! Thank you. I love that there's a tradition where a man under a sheet carrying a horse skull prances around people's living rooms, and academic scholars can all agree "we have no idea what is going on here".
