'Tis (one of) the season(s).

(By the way: the thing that always confused me was why the birth and death festivals were just a season apart, as it left the whole rest of the year devoid of Jesusness. Apparently I was supposed to pick up that the rest of the year was for celebrating the Apostles, who were kind of peripheral to what I thought I was supposed to be paying attention to back when I went to a Christian church. These are things that are not adequately explained to children.)

I was going to write up a bunch of these so I could just reference them later, and then I got distracted by a shiny object and just did the one. And then I was reminded last night, and this is the one that came out last night, so I am storing it.
