Holiday wishes and links

Happy holidays. I hope all of my Christian friends are enjoying today's vast and well preserved collection of pagan solstice rituals, in celebration of their savior's springtime birth. Reason for the season, and all that. *hugs*

The recent warm weather has let me get in a lot of hiking that I was too busy to do during the usual warm season. (Which is not to say that I didn't hike at all then, but it was not nearly as much as I would have liked.) I'm very glad for the chance to have made up for the lack.

Gratuitous links, some of which are seasonally appropriate:
