The reason for the season

Last week, during the mad rush of last minute shopping, parties and family visits, I neglected to comment on "the reason for the season."

So, belatedly I say, "Happy Birthday, Jesus."

Ditto for Baldur. And Mithras. And Helios. And Apollo. And Attis. And Dionysus. And Osiris.

Their birthday party is rockin' after thousands of years.

Have I forgotten anyone?

Oh, yes! Happy Birthday to the Sun, the reason for the season. Ra! Ra! Ra!
