merry merry, my friends.

in our grasp

Christmas day is in our grasp,
So long as we have hands to clasp.

— All the Hoos down in Hooville

From this 'hoo to you: May comfort & joy be yours.

Merry Christmas, Y'all!

and a happy new year

Give us a steady light, a level place,
A good light, a good place,
A good life and beginning.
Give us all of this, thou Hurricane,
Bearer, Begetter,
Grandmother of Day, Grandmother of Light,
When it comes to the sowing, the dawning.

~ Invocation from the Popul Vuh, the Mayan Creation Story
