358 days 'til Solstice

It's become common knowledge among those not in denial about the origins of Christmas that the whole thing is a hoax.

Sending Christmas cards is annoying, but something I vaguely wish each year that I had done.

I wish the logical relationship between these facts had occurred to me a month ago. For the holidays in 2006, I think I shall send cards to everybody and his brother and his cat. But not Christmas cards; no, cards bearing greetings more in keeping with the real spirit of the season. Not this wishy-washy "seasons greetings" and "happy holiday" shit either. Something like, "May Mithra the Son of God bring you peace and happiness." Or maybe, "May the Goddess bless your Solstice." Or even, "May the airing of grievances bring a satisfactory rejuvenation of your friendships in this blessed season of Festivus" -- but that one still needs a pre-Christian Christ worked in.

This would be most fun if lots of people did it and it created a stir, squicking the Christians and giving the establishment something to chew on for a media cycle or two.
