Happy Holidays ,Merry Christmas , Happy Hanukkah , Happy Yule , Happy Bodhi Day , Happy Kwanzaa , Happy Shengdanjie, etc.

..., the weather continues getting colder, and more people die of various illnesses, homelessness, hypothermia, suicide when they can't pay their bills, etc.

Kinda hard to make a peppy song about that.
 
sure, i can't even pronounce 1/2 the stuff you posted Stann 😣 , how's Happy HO HO with you? ~S~
I don't celebrate anything other than life each and every day.
 
From the ancient times of 1966. Archeologists are still searching for artifacts to support the legend of Maulana Ron Karenga and his felony conviction for assault, false imprisonment and torture.
Using that type of logic you should also hate trump.
 
I hate to admit it but my circle of friends has grown very small ( but tight-knit ) . I don't know anyone who does now. Back in the 80's and 90's I did but they all passed on now.
So many of whom i grew up with are in the big gig in the sky now Stann

oddly, what i miss the most is reminiscing how much of a inebriated testosterone poised bunch we were

~S~
 
The solstice is the one that makes the most sense. Starting tomorrow, the days become longer, the weather continues getting colder, and more people die of various illnesses, homelessness, hypothermia, suicide when they can't pay their bills, etc.
Sounds like nothing to celebrate. Actually they had HOPE things would get better.

At the solstice, Xmas, etc., poor families can probably assess how much food and money they have, and how much they will need until spring. Any surplus may then be spent on a holiday celebration. For some families, that assessment will be a time of realization that they probably won't survive.

The days become longer. I look forward to this every year!
 
Kwanzaa isn't even real. The founder of Kwanzaa imprisoned and assaulted two female members of his cult, whipped them with cords, beat them with batons, and seared them with irons while naked, in an effort to elicit confessions that they were conspiring against him. He served a few years in prison for that.

Opinion: The dark side of Kwanzaa's founder can't extinguish the holiday's beacon
But you approve of things like that being done to women. After all, you voted for trump the rapist
 
I can take the cold but the dark and the cold is almost too much to bear. I have always lived in the sun. Not a night person at all.
I check the sunset times EVERY DAY this time of year. I have several milestones throughout the winter.
1. Christmas: the days BEGIN to get longer.
2. Jan 1st: the day is visibly a LITTLE longer
3. February 1st: it's finally daylight out at 6:00 pm!
4. March 21: the day is now 12 hours and I'm finally happy

When it's my time, I pray I don't die in the cold, dead of winter
 
Did I forget you , hope not. How do you celebrate the winter holidays and which ones do you celebrate ? Thanks !
I celebrate em all. Every year I make out like a bandit.

It's cold and dark when I leave for work and it's cold and dark when I come home. I was born and raised in the cold and dark. You can have summer.
 
The data indicates 12.5 million Americans celebrate it / 30 million worldwide.

Give me Juneteenth over Kwanzaa every single day. Kwanzaa is a Hallmark Holiday made up by an AMERICAN communist professor. I used to feel compelled to teach about it, but no longer do. I have never had a single student of any race who celebrates it.

Whereas Juneteenth is actual, American history.
