To Do

Filed under: Sorta Daily — Lily at 6:54 pm on Wednesday, December 14, 2005

Just over one week left to the Gift Giving Occasion of Significance. You know the one I mean. The one that my inner bitch would not hesitate to tell you about how certain religious folks STOLE IT FROM US PAGANS! STOLE LIKE BIG STEALING STEALERS OF HOLIDAYS!!

Aside from that, I still have some shopping to do. I never did get those fabulous little decorator clips, OR the lights to put in them. I could do it this weekend, I suppose, and since I still have shopping to do and I plan to do it early - there is still time.

But mostly my time is spent agonizing over The Knitting. Particularly, The Knitting of The Scarf that goes with The Hat that every day I am just a little bit more worried will actually turn out to be TOO SMALL.

Agony, I tell you. Not to mention that The Scarf? and The Hat? really needs to be sent out by Saturday, and though I have spent hours and hours on The Scarf it refuses to grow to more than 1/3 finished.

I don’t think religious people stole it from you “pagans” the whole christmas idea has been brought about by the media and shops.

Actually if you research ancient history you will find that what is now known as Christmas began as an ancient pagan holiday. The Winter Solstice has been happening since the sun began rising and setting, or more accurately - since the world began turning.

Although I do agree that the modern tradition of Christmas (at least here in America) is rife with commercial interests, more so than almost anything else celebrated this time of year. As well as, in most recent years (again speaking about America in general), it’s about shoving the importance of one religion’s holiday in front of others.

Thanks for your comments, though.
