And here I got the impression yesterday that Axial Tilt is the reason for the season. Whatever the reason, glad tidings and good cheer to all!
I'm so sorry, but if it makes you feel any better, my fun-time-Buffy party night involved watching a robot throw Spike through a window, so if you want to trade... no wait, I wouldn't give up that memory for anything.

Spike's Bitches 48: I Say, We Go Out There, and Kick a Little Demon Ass.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Plus, there's Mithras, whose mother was a virgin and who was born in a cave at the winter solstice.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
The realtor scheduled at noon a showing at 330. I did not know that we were having showings yet, & I have an appointment at 430 that I have to be at, we all need to be out of the house for an hour at 330, and we have one freaking car. Thank God that the house is mostly tidy, however my pleasant day with my stepson is now turned into a straightening up and dusting and tidying frenzy. I'm really appreciative right now.

In support of Connie's comment...more about Mithras via QI.
My favorite line, "Is he a tribute band?"

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
There is a response to the War on "The Holidays" in the comments of this Slacktivist blog post which is so brilliant that I'm tempted to plaigairize it. At the moment it is near the end of the thread, (though, these people are talky, talky people so who knows where it will end up in the long run), author's name is "Mister Hush" and it starts out "*Bane Voice*" [link] You won't be sorry if you read it. Unless you have something in your mouth while you read it.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
So, we had Christmas plans to go to the movies and get Chinese food. But then my sister said she didn't want to go to the vegan Chinese restaurant like we'd planned, because it wasn't festive enough, and she suggested a different restaurant. I said I didn't want to go there, because they've got a wall of fish tanks, and I don't like watching fish swimming while people are eating fish. And somehow, this now means that we're not going out at all, and instead, we're staying in and my sister is making lasagna, which I can't eat. And she seemed insulted when I asked what she was making for me, since she's the one who decided we're staying in.

Sigh. Families - can't live with 'em, can't get born without 'em.

Full recovery~ma to your nephew, Laura.

As late as the 19th century, it was believed that creatures like crocodiles arose from the mud of the Nile by spontaneous generation. This always struck me as fine idea.
