Here’s one for you: what would a woo-free winter festival look like? If we take out all that mythology involving assorted supernatural happenings, what are we left with?
For starters, we get to keep the tree and the yule log. Winter feasting is deffo a keeper. You can stuff your turkey (arf) but the rest of it is great, even the sprouts. Goose would work, a crispy something of pork maybe or some Bambi. Just something with leftovers.
I can leave the mass-TV but a good fillum uring digestion is good. A familial forced march in the locale as a morale boost before returning to attack, well, anything else really.
Presents are good, but please, just little trinkets hand-made by starving artisans. Especially photographers.
Me, I’m pissing off and spending three weeks with some Taiwanese Buddhists.
But for you, what’s a keeper for your myth-free Winterval?
