And happy holidays to you, Albion! I wonder if most of the people who celebrate Christmas in this country realize nearly all our traditions came from your country hundreds of years ago? Druids, winter solstice, all the origins of our Santa Claus and celebrations. We have strong ties and it will always be so.Did you ever make your trip to Texas last year?

Yes Zac I stayed in San Antonio, I got there by way of Mobile (work). I liked Texas, it was very hot though, too hot for me.
Funny you should mention druids, Stonehenge is only 60 miles from my village and there's been a lot of activity at Glastonbury Tor and Chactonbury Ring as today is the solstice.
Paganism is accepted in my county (Sussex) it has links with a lot of old families in my area.
The Yule log will be lit and will be kept burning for twelve days (the twelve days of christmas.
Christianity does'nt take a back though, it's celebrated as well, both religions have a great deal of respect for each other.
Merry Christmas to you Zac & your family.

Maybe this is what the holidays are like near Stonehenge? Beware of the locals.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AQLOJ-0uZ8&feature=related
