The external trappings may change: birthday of sol invictus, midnight wild hunt of souls and dogs, a baby in a manger, the death of a prophet. What doesn't is the consciousness of the passing of time, short days and the ever present freeze that seems to compress humanity together around the precious light in warm spaces.

Whatever you call it, and however you do it - even if it's just 2 days off the grind, make it a good one.
