A conclusion I came to at age 4
Any excuse will do for a time of peace, goodwill, and giving presents to children. It is it's own justification, nothing else is needed. Candles that keep mystically burning, stars that travel in the sky, or jolly fat men riding aeriel sleighs, those are strictly optional embellishments.
Merry Christmas everyone.

Anonymous commenters - please add a signature (doesn't have to be your real name) on each post of yours. Anne O'Namus, Norm D. Ploom, Angry from Kent, Demosthenes, or even your real initials, it doesn't matter.
Commenters are expected to be polite to each other, but the same standard doesn't apply to comments regarding me.
Australian commenters are very very strongly advised to publish anonymously. Sydney alone has more defamation actions than the entire USA and UK. Nearly double that of the UK in fact.
As Google does not reliably inform me that a comment has been posted, and I have no control over first publication, I assert that all comments are innocently disseminated under the NSW DEFAMATION ACT 2005 - SECT 32 and similar acts.
Merry Christmas to you as well! Not that we need any gifts from you, since they have been provided in advance with all the insightful and fascinating entries you keep providing.
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful wish. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy holidays and all the best for 2011, Zoe.
Shouldn't the second sentence start, "It's its own justification. . ."?
ReplyDeleteHi Zoe,
ReplyDeleteI'm a sporadic reader of your blog. I have a great admiration for you - not just for your considerable courage, but also for your incredible intellect and energy.
Enjoy the holiday season, and best wishes for a fantastic 2011.
