why is the 23rd the hardest day to get through? I always find it's like it takes too long till the day is through, and yet you can't get too excited, since there's still the 24th to get through as well!

I know, it may seem odd for a pagan family to celebrate on the 25th, but since everyone who works in this household gets the 25th and 26th off, it just makes more sense than the 21st. Besides, we tend to see christmas as the day of giving (from Santa, the Spirit of Giving, in our home) rather than it's christian meaning.

so, happy christmas to ye christians, hope all the pagans had a good yule and hope everyone was nice enough for Santa to visit!
