I know I posted this before, but Today is the Day for it
[Image description: a stylized Sun, Earth and Moon (simple circles filled with gradient colors). It reads:
Weâve taken one more orbit âround the sun | And I am glad youâre here to share this ride.

This is my ârebuttal songâ to âSanta Claus is Coming to Town,â inspired by the various Belsnickel traditions I read about in Santa Claus: Last of the Wild Men by Phyllis Siefker, which I quoted here.
One of those traditions was that the Winter Gift-Giver (by various names) would put the naughty children into his sack and take them back to his workshop (said to be in various places). Some traditions said that he took the children home to eat them (See also: Sasha the Christmas Tiger, and the Yule Cat [YouTube video]), while other traditions said that he took the children captive for one year, and returned them home the following Christmas Eve.
This second version of the legend gave me the plot bunny that thatâs where âSantaâ gets at least some of his elves: The naughty children are put to work making gifts for the good children -- sort of like community service labor.
(oh, and I changed the criteria for ânaughtyâ from âexpressing your unpleasant emotionsâ to âbeing a greedy bullyâ)
(Anyway, this is me singing. My voice is not at its best, here, but itâs not at its worst, either. And itâs the one way I know to teach the song to other people. And if there is one time to sing with more enthusiasm than polish, it should be yearâs end. So Sayeth I)
So Iâm trying to print out my envelopes for this yearâs New Years Cards, and my printer keeps trying to print them in portrait instead of landscape... and then after I yell at it, and call it stupid, it tells me it canât find the driver... Be nice to your electronics, people. Theyâre as confused and stressed as we are.
Anyway, hereâs the design I came up with for the front of this yearâs cards (The new year is the one holiday everyone I know celebrates in common, so thatâs what Iâve made cards for, the last few years). I worked on it while listening to @realphilosophytubeââs Shakespeare Stream (What can I say? Iambic pentameter is contagious):

Inside the card:
However long the journey, may it bring
More joy then sorrow, and more peace than pain

This is why I fear the demise of the United States of America within my lifetime.
As I wrote in a Dreamwidth comment, regarding the recent election in the UK:
I have this dread that 2020 will be the year that the United Kingdom stops being United, and the American experiment with democracy will ultimately fail. In the 1980s, the UK and the US mirrored each other with Thatcher and Reagan, and we're mirroring each other again with Johnson and Trump... and we're both crashing at the bottom of the slippery slope.
Trying to get in that Holly Jolly spirit
Look, I know Christmas Hegemony is is sticky, and in this American culture, it coats everything starting in November, and that gets exhausting. But with the state of the world, Iâve been feeling sad and worried, and I donât want to close out the year feeling like this, and I need to remember happiness, and renew my hope.
So I want to share some of my favorite Holiday/end of year songs -- maybe ones you might not know -- that I grew up with on the family record player. And invite you (if you want to) to do the same. And maybe we could turn this into a playlist thread.
Hereâs one that was on one of my parentsâ vinyl L.P.s, back in the 1970s (his talking blues style intro is one of my favorite things):
