冬至快樂

Happy solstice!

I recently discovered that Chinese people do all sorts of stuff for the solstice like eating dumplings and soup balls.

My objections to Christmas run strong and deep so in order to make sure the kids don't feel deprived, we have taken to celebrating that instead. The kids still have a thing to talk about when they go back to school and it is cultural and family gathering that isn't centered around praying to the consumerist gods.

If the post person has the ability to ruin the holiday by not delivering something on time, than I dare say it wasn't worth celebrating.

May this long night be passed with people you love and to hell with the rest of it.
