Joyful Solstice!

A bit of fun: Lots of people complain that "Happy Holidays" has replaced "Merry Christmas" but nobody is complaining that Christmas wishes have replaced "Joyful Solstice." Modern people don't remember that the date of Christmas was chosen to turn Solstice celebrations into Christian events. Here's your chance to fight back and restore the beloved pagan observance. Complain to stores that won't carry gifts appropriate for your Solstice party. Proudly display the bumper sticker "12-21 Not just a palindrome" (actually the Solstice is on 12-22 this year). And my favorite: For the manger displays near you get a bunch of "It's a girl" balloons and tie them to the hands of the wise men. You can also tie them to the crib and tie a pink bow to the baby's head.
