Happy holidays!
There’s a new post over at End Pavement talking about the Winter Solstice and why it’s a cool thing to mark, no matter what your religious beliefs happen to be.
Hopefully Santa will be able to pilot his sleigh through the crazy winds this weekend in SoCal. ;)
Way back in the day, I wrote a journal entry that eventually found its way to this site in the form of “How myths evolve”
One night over 10 years ago I was sitting in the living room of the apartment I had at the time. Outside I heard two little girls talking and laughing with an older woman (a neighbor in her sixties) about various everythings under the sun. Their conversation turned to things Christmas, which was upcoming. One of the girls asked if the woman and her husband were going to leave their door unlocked on Christmas Eve.
The woman asked why.
The child said, of course, how else would Santa Claus get in?
