Kids, be careful with your Christmas list!

Santa Claus (not sure why it is now two proper nouns) has nothing to do with December festivities moving forward.

6th December was the cut-off date, which even under the Gregorian calendar falls tonight/tomorrow.

Bah humbug !
 
I'm an atheist and SWMBO is Jewish, so we are avoiding the word generally used for the 25th of December and substituting 'Pagan Midwinter Festival' It doesn't exactly roll off the tongue, I know...

"Midwinter" sounds appropriate... :lol:
 
Winterval is my preferred term.

Oh, I really don't mind being labelled as a Pagan, though I don't think the elderly residents of our village would like to see me parading round, painted in woad. I do have to rely on the local population for seasoned peasants to fuel our fire after all...

I've found full skyclad is often the tipping point.
A woad foundation, if you build it (up), the peasants will come.
