Rob is also a firebug. Which is good, for then I can have fire during group rituals and I don't have to make it. I'm Water Girl. I don't mess with fire. (Besides, matches smell horrid. :P)
That's what I meant by "holidays as weapons"-- not wishing someone a Merry (Whatever) because you mean it, but as a "take this holiday and shove it!" thing. All of y'all SHUT UP already.
(But isn't there a "Yuletide Period" type thing? I can't remember a single year when I actually celebrated the solstice *on* the solstice. Or pretty much any other Neo-Pagany holiday on the day. I'm happy if I can get "close enough." I mean, it's not like Light Returns overnight, after all. But then, I'm notoriously bad with date-based things in general. If I celebrate the birthday within a week or my anniversary sometime in October, that's good enough for me. :)
