What makes one holiday a "pure concoction" versus another - is it the amount of time that has passed since it was "concocted" ? (discussions of the origins of holidays should probably be moved so as not to trample on the padre's feel-good thread) |

Well, people celebrated Christmas for hundreds of years and now thousands. Kwanzaa was invented as a holiday before anybody celebrated it. In other news, just got home from tonight's gathering. As a kid this was the best night of the year by far bar none. This year and so many recently have seemed more like just another way to mark time passing. I must be getting old. War is peace.
