That’s Merry Christmas, to us Howlies. Another co-opted Pagan solstice celebration has come and gone, and the Milwaukee Journal/Sentinel posted this brave Christmas headline: “Christians Worldwide Celebrate.”

Newsflash: Water is wet!

Never mind the reason, it’s a great time of year to get together and remind each other that you are family, sunlight is starting to increase, and that the damn snow will quit soon…. Which, in our case might be mid-May. Hope you had a reason to celebrate and did so with abandon!
