Comments on: Happy Solstice https://whynow.dumka.us/2011/12/21/happy-solstice-6/ On-line Opinion Magazine...OK, it's a blog Wed, 21 Dec 2011 18:57:15 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.3 By: Bryan https://whynow.dumka.us/2011/12/21/happy-solstice-6/comment-page-1/#comment-58665 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 18:57:15 +0000 http://whynow.dumka.us/?p=23981#comment-58665 Add some holly and mistletoe to include the Celts in the Teuton celebration. I would avoid the mushroom and dead bird traditional decorations, as they attract flies and cops.

Anyone who thinks there are flocks in the fields around Bethlehem at this time of year has been oversampling the mushrooms. It is cold around there, too cold to have your sheep and goats out grazing for nothing in the snow.

The good news is that Belobog [white god] defeats Chernobog [black god] and the sun is reborn, but it only lasts for six months.

Well, actually they’re plastic “Christmas” wreaths zip-tied to the grill and spare tire on the rear tailgate, but same difference, right?
