Happy Hogswatch!
14 years ago
Happy Hogswatch to all or whatever the occasion may be in your home and heart! I wish you all a season ripe with things jolly and all other things 'olly!**
Wherever your spirits may wander this holiday season, be places familiar or strange, may you find company even in the highest of boughs. May your adventures to come be carpeted in velds of verdant green, silver mountain peaks and great vermillion plumed clouds perched atop beryl crowned oaks that sing to the wind. May you wander too far to return to the start and the roads ahead be winding and strange, for the bolder the path the greater the reward. The horizon awaits you; may it be that you face it with courage and hope in your heart and seek it to it's end before seeking the horizon yet beyond.
I thank you all for the courage you give me in my life, through your words, through the kindnesses you've shown and simply to know you is to become greater than I am now.
Apologies for the repeat from my last image...some folks don't catch the descriptions under the images..which is a shame as folks often share some valuable insight and meaning behind their art therein. But for those that just can't get into the habit, wanted to leave my words here as well. Thank you all for indulging me!
I hope you all have and will be spending your holidays with the people you love and collecting memories to keep you warm through the coldest and darkest days to come. I for one have had a blessed day, one of the best I have managed and have found myself in the embrace of such warmth I feel my heart can hardly contain all the joy it has given me!
**Blatant and unashamed Terry Pratchett reference
PPS: If you have never watched/read The Hogfather, it is one of my favorite holiday movies...certainly with consistency that is more than just pure calorific sugary Christmas fluff! I highly recommend it if you are looking for new Christmas movies to add to your holiday collection C:.

Happy Hogswatch to you to!
A Very Happy Hogswatch to you too.
i haven't seen a lot of happiness of the season where i live, sorry to say.
people crowding stores feeling obligeged to spend on each other, plenty of that, and fanatics bitching about materialism having stolen 'their' holy day, a little of that, though not as much even of that either. of course then again, i haven't been out much, nor participated in either, nor is where i iive much of a place to hang decorations, although a few have.
oh the town put lights on a tree, and on lamp poles, and a few people who own houses put displays in their yards, but there just hasn't been that much of a seasonal feel to it for me this year.
so i'm glad when i see someone putting it in a context of inclusive fantasy rather then the kind of clostraphobia of mercantilism or holy roller ism, either one.
this is why i love places full of creative imaginative people like here.
