Merry Christmas to all!
As Epicurus took an active role in the civic and religious festivals and rites of his day, we too can participate in our time's civic and religious festivals with a fresh Epicurean perspective.
May Christmas/Yule/Solstice give us an opportunity to reflect on the presence of light in the world; to bring us joy in the hope that darkness is a passing thing, no matter how long the night; and to give us the encouragement to bring pleasure to and to experience pleasure in our little corner of the world while we can.

Io Saturnalia! A little belatedly.

I just started a new job that I absolutely love and worked over the Holidays. I always get unsettled by Holidays since my Dad died back in 2019 and I more or less lost my extended family which was on the way out for me anyway. Also with seperation in my own nuclear family, I really didn't miss Christmas at all.
I'm throwing all my chips in for a robust celebration of Epicurus' birthday probably February 8th perhaps, or maybe January 20th... Not sure yet. But I am gonna go big and make it the new cool awaited Holiday for my kids and myself going forward. I will be getting them some custom made Epicurean gifts, other meaningful things and a fun thing or two they may want. -
Looks like the Saturnalia was quite a party! It was famous for social inversion! 🙃
