Advent of Holiday Horror: Song 2

A Very Happy Solstice to You All

Call it Brumalia, Christmas, Maidyarem, D?ngzhì, Hanukkah, Inti Raymi, Meán Geimhridh, M?draniht, Shab-e Chelleh, ?ewy Yelda, Soyalangwul, Yule, or Ziemassv?tki – The Solstice has been many things to many people for many, many years. Tonight is the longest night of the year; tomorrow will bring a victory of light over darkness and the rebirth of the sun. Mithra will be born again at the end of this night, the crops will grow, Father Christmas will ride his yule goat, and Beiwe and her daughter will ride again to herald back the greenery on which the reindeer feed. We will cover our doorposts with butter, sprinkle our faces with the blood of goats, eat ourselves silly, dance the Horo, and generally get roaring drunk.
