  1. Holiday Season Shifts: Faith's Diminishing Role, Economic Debates Spark Discussions

    Many Americans celebrate holidays without religion. Debates grow about the economic cost of federal holidays. What does this mean for you?

  2. Fewer Americans are linking holidays to religion. Some leaders say federal holidays cost billions, but others say businesses still work and sales increase.

  3. We're going to dinner at my inlaws today. We're not religious, so it's just dinner. I'm baking a lemon bliss bundt cake (King Arthur kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/l)
    Yesterday Husband asked me what my family's traditional Easter dessert was & I had to laugh. The dessert table was typically filled with 3 or 4 different cakes, plus brownies, candies. We had up to 30 guests, he was a family of 4.

  4. Hey, it's that time of year for my seasonal poem A Christmas Peril. When I originally wrote this, in 2008, it seemed to many people that it expressed a distant possibility, but was a cute fairy tale.

    Even then, also in 2008, I had done some back of the envelope calculations that suggested to me the possibility that human civilization could be wiped out, perhaps even humanity could go extinct, as early as 2035. But I didn't expect any one would believe it.

    Now, less than twenty years later, I feel almost embarrassed circulating it because I hope most people can easily see how it pales against the stark and aggressive reality that the Climate Crisis is.

    As for 2035? Well, I hope we have at least that long, but I'm a little worried we don't. Acceleration is a weird thing. Civilization may seem solid, but there are things that could happen (crop failures are the one I'm looking to) that could cause everything to unravel really quickly.

    Maybe I should be updating my poem. But, for now, this is what I have to offer. Please read it if you haven't, and share it with family and friends as part of your holiday season. Mastodon boosts count as part of that, if you're of a mind to. :)

    Happy holidays, everyone. The Climate Crisis isn't a very happy thought, but it underscores the importance of savoring civilization, stability, family, and friends while you can. I'd like to be wrong. But I wouldn't bet money on it.

    The poem is available in three languages (English, Spanish, and Portuguese) with several audio tracks.

  5. As the planning and preparation for my mother’s famous stuffing begin, it becomes clear that over the years of celebrating in separate households I have made it vegetarian and she has added more meat.

    Based on an Italian American recipe for Thanksgiving, it is the only stuffing I enjoy and I take it very seriously.

    I believe in us. We will find a compromise.

  16. I think of pomegranates and citrus this time of year for all the homegrown pickings I would crack open with my uncle, and all the citrus I would juice with my aunt... and all the sangria we'd make to reward ourselves at the end of the day. I really treasure those memories.
    In some parts of the world pomegranates play a role in religious and cultural iconography, and I love that one of my favorite fruits has such a rich and beautiful tradition.
    For me it's not the holiday season without pomegranates. So even though I'm far from home and my family's trees, pomegranates will always be found in my home this time of year. <3

  17. Everyone in the house went to work today except the dog and me. Left to our own devices we decided to make sausage rolls. It was a holiday tradition when I was growing up so I called mom for the recipe and they turned out great. #HolidayTraditions #yum

  18. Do you have cooking traditions on New Year's? Other traditions? In the American south, black-eyed peas are supposed to be good luck. Here's a post from last year and I may do a repeat of Hoppin' John this weekend, along with Guinness and cornbread.
