>> That may well be, but it's still no reason to
: embrace the global corporate generic "holiday."
Peter: Right. The solution is to say "Skoal Yule"
or "Io
Saturnalia".
Eric: That's a great idea! The more variety, the
better. "Yule" is particularly fine, since the
pr-Christian traditions have been suppressed or
poorly assimilated. And Saturnalia would show our
continuing debt to the Romans.
Certainly better than imagining one is living in
some generic Star Trek universe, and has been
cybernetically accorded "holiday time."
