Merry Christmas…
…or is it Saturnalia, or Yule, or Natalis Solis Invicti.
So the Christians appropriate a pagan festival and tell us we should remember “the real meaning” of Christmas!
Well, I do remember that all the original winter solstice festivals were about getting pissed out of your head and eating as much as possible with a bit of hankie-pankie thrown in for good measure, and I’m all for that!
Much drinking, eating and fun ahead and no, not in the name of Jesus but in the name of Mother Nature and the rebirth of the Sun for another year after the Winter solstice.
And then the “real” celebration for we Scots — New Year! When I was a laddie it used to go on for about 5 days — we Highlanders know how to party!
