- Well, yes.. But what I really had in mind when I posted that was that
- it was not just an 'inside' thing that people in a little clique did, but
- that "Solstice" seems to becoming used by members of the general public.
- I really would like to see Solstice cards available on the Hallmark(tm)
- racks with the Xmas, (secular), Xmas, (religous), and Hanakhah cards.
- I hope we have a new way of seeing things here in good ol' Amurrica, and
- that it isn't just a fad.
-
- Solstice lives, Xmas sucks. (My own personal opinion).
