Celebrating today. [View all]

Please understand that today was a special day for some of us outside of the fact that there was an insurrection on this date as well.

However, I will not stop celebrating 'Old Christmas' just because others decided to do something bad on the same date.

On the North Carolina Outer Banks, this is a celebration that has been going on for a very, very long time. The feasting on 'Old Christmas' eve, then fasting during the day. (I cannot do that anymore, thanks to a messed up stomach, but you get the idea.)

There is also dancing, presents, and a visit from 'Old Buck'.

I hope everyone has a blessed Twelfth Night, aka: Epiphany, aka: Old Christmas today!
