Lá Fhéile Pádraig Sona Duit

Lá Fhéile Pádraig Sona Duit! Or, in English, Happy St Patrick’s Day to you! Or, as me and mine have called it for decades, Amateur Drinkers Night… at least here in America. So, have fun. Drink responsibly – i.e., go ahead and get trashed, but don’t fecking drive. But, do feck wantonly. 😉

So Many Wanting Some Irish In Them

And, my deartháireacha an tuatha, remember that there’s many a cailín álainn wanting some Irish in them this night. Do your best for them and your ancestors to make their wishes come true.

And So Many Irish We Should Be Wanting To Be In

And, for the lot of us, Éireannach or not, do remember that the many mná na Éireann are celebrating St, Patty’s Day too. Any of us would be damned fools to not enjoy that fully. 😛

Once Again Valentine's Day

Once Again Valentine’s Day

So, once again it’s Valentine’s Day, the consumption-based holiday that “enjoys” the most ambivalence from the American people. I’m not a big fan of it myself, but thinking outside the box of chocolates does make this day of enforced trappings of romance more palatable. Case in point – here’s 48 examples of better gifts for couples than candy and flowers. 😉

Saturnalia Today

Saturnalia Today – Boxing Day

So, once again we have the opportunity to celebrate what is left of Saturnalia. By that I, of course, mean the Victorian affectation of Boxing Day, which is the last vestige of Rome’s mid-Winter festival. 😉

Looking Like Christmas

It’s Looking Like Christmas

It’s looking like Christmas, and that’s a fine thing to my mind. I love certain sorts of holiday decorations.

You May Now Decorate Your Christmasween Tree

Thanksgiving is passed, as is Black Friday and Cyber Monday. So, you can decorate without bad luck or opprobrium from right-thinking people. Of course, the nature of that decorating is in flux. 😛

Some Very Fine Christmasween Decorations

Oh! And to all you fanatical Clausians, check your calendars. Besides, you really shouldn’t be doing purely Christmas stuff until Advent, which starts Sun, Dec 3, 2023 this year.
