lo Saturnalia...
...everybody!
it's once again time for serve the servants, gift giving, and the overall ancient Roman and pagan rite of Saturnalia. Let the games begin, it will be upon us until the 23rd! Since nobody else is currently doing it, I declare Ashley Saturnalicius princep. This is because she rightly remembered something I should have... yet again, my memory fails me.
Many are probably not aware of this holy festival as it was subversively copied in the form of a more popular holiday known as Christmas AD Rome was trying to bury its pagan roots. Too bad, Christmas took away some of the charity of Saturnalia.
At any rate, this is the best time of year for the Carmen Denuo and it's followers... all 2 of us, so enjoy with us if you'd like! Learn more about Saturnalia on Wikipedia
Gifts are customary, as are a nightly feast, and role reversals (IE serve the servants, or work for your workers).
Have fun and lo Saturnalia!
