An Ode to Christmas

By Rx

Here's to Crispmess, monument of the ages:
A proverb in the stone of economics,
Wool for the Wolves of "Increased Sales",
A twist for the rubber arm of Indulgence.

And here's to Mixmas, religiously observed:
The tired-of-rigour, but lusty gather,
so they might be found standing
in the weak's winest hour and at the bong of the New Beer.

Solstice. The sun stands still. Daylight's shortest breath.
Dark, cold and, our backs to the Son:
The Christ of Christmas.

SOLAR ECLIPSE 2000:
It is interesting that ON CHRISTMAS DAY 2000, there was BOTH a solar eclipse, and a new moon. It is also interesting that this will occur one week before the new Millennium begins, AND that it is more or less going to be at its peak, for the longest duration, during the normally brightest part (noon), of the shortest day of the year, at the area surrounding the capital of the most powerful country in the world: This must truely be a heavenly statement; to darken the shortest day, at the close of such a bloody century, during the celebration of our Saviour's birth. For exact info about the time and extent of the eclipse see NASA. Or, for a good PDF map of this, download Map.pdf
