Frosty Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 Good one Steve! Thank you for giving my Christmas eve with a good laugh. It's a good cautionary message too, I'll never ask the concrete guys to wrap anything! Merry Christmas or whatever, if you celebrate this time of year one and all. It's snowing and 18f. here tonight. We finally got the stove guys out to sweep our stack so the stove is burning properly. It's snug, beautiful out and just plain nice. Love you all. Be well. Frosty The Lucky.

Frosty Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 Nice pic Randy, I like it. Made me wonder what you call a group of Griffins, a flock? Nah I think I see a Pride. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George N. M. Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 Happy and Merry Christmas, Hanakkah, Kawanza, Solatice, December 25th, or any other occasion to everyone. It is snowing in the spruce trees here in Laramie and looks very Christmasy. I hope everyone got lots of cool tools, coal. and metal. George "By hammer and hand all arts do stand."

ThomasPowers Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 One of my favorite Chas Addams cartoons shows Morticia and Gomez looking in at Pugsly and Wednesday industriously feeding a massive fire in the fireplace and the caption is: "The little dears! They still believe in Santa Claus." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLAG Posted January 7, 2020 Author Share Posted January 7, 2020 The Orthodox Christian churches observe The Feast of the Nativity today. January 7, 2020. Merry Christmas Alexander, and all those who celebrate the holiday today. SLAG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHCC Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Some Orthodox Christian churches (including the Russian Orthodox Church) observe the Feast of the Nativity today, as they still use the Julian calendar, which is 13 days behind the Gregorian (thus January 7 on the Gregorian is still December 25 on the Julian, at least until 2100). Many Orthodox Churches (for example, the Greek Orthodox Church) use the "Revised Julian" calendar, which is functionally the same as the Gregorian.

SLAG Posted January 7, 2020 Author Share Posted January 7, 2020 JHCC, Thanks for the clarification. It is appreciated. SLAG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHCC Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 No worries. Things can get really confusing this time of year, with New Calendar Christmas on Dec. 25, New Calendar Theophany (celebration of Christ's baptism) on Jan. 6, Old Calendar Christmas on Jan. 7, and Old Calendar Theophany on Jan. 19.

ThomasPowers Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 What about the cross quarter days? Having Winter and Summer *start* on the solstices is just balderdash! Everyone knows that the Summer Solstice is Midsummer's day and the Winter solstice is Midwinter's day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George N. M. Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Just to throw another feast into the mix, yesterday was 12th Night which celebrates the arrival of the Magi in Bethlehem. Traditionally, Christmas was a religious festival and 12th Night was to occasion for gift giving to commemorate the gifts given by the wise men. "By hammer and hand al arts do stand."

pnut Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 It was the culmination of the twelve days of Christmas and was the night of the biggest party. It was the blowout to wrap up the celebration. I watched a documentary about Tudor Christmas celebrations a couple weeks ago. It was pretty interesting. Did you know that the roasted boars head had it's own carol that was sang while it was carried into the banquet hall. It was published in the first book of Christmas carols.

George N. M. Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Dear Pnut, Yes, I did know that and have seen a boar's head carried in and the carol sung at an SCA 12th Night feast. "By hammer and hand all arts do stand." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pnut Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 I forgot that there's SCA members here. I'm not a member but being crowned the King of Misrule would be fun. Pnut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Well it was sung at the Wassail held at our Church this year, a non-SCA event. (Though they lacked the Boars Head on a platter.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
