Remember to keep Saturn in your Saturnalia.[DOUBLEPOST=1482354143,1482354033][/DOUBLEPOST]Back when I was a Geography Teacher, the students did not like that I'd say, "Remember that 23.5 degrees is the reason for the season."

Well, for the next 6 months, at least.

Remember to keep that Christ in Christmas, folks! Even though that's not how Christmas started!

Well I suppose this video only proves that Christmas has been about Christ for a millennium and a half, so, I mean, kind of seems legit to me.

I've brought the pole. Unfortunately I am unable to participate in the feats of strength this year, as I've pulled my groin.

Not to mention these origins don't really disprove anything--just because a celebration period was adopted, doesn't somehow negate the reason it was adopted.

It's kinda funny, because the only thing that was really important in most of the NT wasn't his birthday, but his death...

It's not like nobody's ever said Easter was the most important Christian holiday, after all :p

Welp, after a busy day all yesterday, I'm gonna relax and watch a bunch of Christmas related stuff.

I probably won't get to them all, but my list of intended watching includes:
-Muppet Family Christmas
-Muppet Christmas Carol (which I can't believe I've never watched)
-Scrooged
-Batman Returns
-Maybe some Doctor Who Christmas specials
-Die Hard

Already watched Gremlins & Gremlins 2 with my nieces a few days ago. I'm saving Krampus to watch with some friends shortly after Christmas.

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night. I mean that, because my daughter's first expedition downstairs was at 1:30. Then 3:30 for my son, who decided he'd just watch TV. Then 4:30 again for my son, when he turned on the TV again, and I said screw it and let him.

Merry Christmas! Finally got more than 5 minutes at the computer.

It helps that my son is at his mom's and my wife's at work ;)

As far as gifts go, it was a banner year at the Tinwhistler household. My son actually liked and has played with all of this gifts (unlike previous years, where he liked 1 or 2 things, and everything else sat unopened to be donated the following year). I gave up trying to figure out what he'd like based on what everyone liked when I was a kid. He got the aforementioned Anki Overdrive, which he loves, some wooden puzzle brain teasers, which are right up his alley. Some emoji throw pillows--which I thought were dumb, but my wife swore he'd love. And he did. So points for her on that one.

My wife liked all of her gifts. I get her a "big gift" every year..
and usually a card. But this year, I also got her an alpaca wool infinity scarf (from an alpaca ranch a couple miles up the road that I learned about during Oktoberfest), and some books she's been wanting. My son got her bath bombs, and the sequel to a series she's been reading. So she was really happy that she had a number of small gifts to open that she loved.

And me? I got the satisfaction of a happy household. But I also got a ton of stuff from my amazon wish list. I've been begging my wife to use it for years, because she complains that she never knows what to get me. Everything I got came off of my wish list. And I was as happy as a bug in a rug :D

My boss gave us a 2006 bottle of dom perignon for completing the $2mil contract that was due at end-of-year, which I accepted graciously. I don't really like champagne. But we popped it Christmas Eve, and this stuff was totally drinkable!

It's been a pretty good weekend. I hope all of you are feeling just as cheery!

Happy Boxing Day, and Joyous Kwanzaa, everybody! :)

We did good this year, despite having to call in some favors since I've been out of work almost all year. Got my wife an electric kettle (with all the bells and whistles, except, ironically, a whistle or a bell), a video camera she wanted, and a butane torch for her jewelry making hobby. She got me a popcorn popper, a citrus juicer, a potato ricer, some miscellaneous baking/decorating tools, and a full set of the baking pans I wanted from Williams-Sonoma. It will be a very happy new year this year, at least on the baking front.

I honestly wasn't even thinking of that. I just thought big gift sounded like a funny name for it.
