12 Politically Correct Days Of The Non-Religious Midwinter Festival

Basketball - Girls

On the 12th day of the Euro-centrically imposed midwinter festival, my potential -acquaintance-abuse-survivor gave to me: 12 males reclaiming their inner warrior through ritual drumming, 11 pipers piping (plus the 18-member pit orchestra made up of members in good standing of the Musicians Equity Union as called for in their union contract even though they will not be asked to play a note . . . .) 10 melanin-deprived testosterone-poisoned scions of the patriarchal ruling class system leaping, 9 persons engaged in rhythmic self-expression, 8 economically disadvantaged female persons stealing milk products from enslaved BovineAmericans, 7 endangered swans swimming on federally protected wetlands, 6 enslaved fowl-Americans producing stolen non-human animal products, 5 golden symbols of culturally sanctioned enforced domestic incarceration,

(Note: after a complaint by the Animal Liberation Front, the calling birds, French hens and partridge have been reintroduced to their native habitat. To avoid further animal-American enslavement, the remaining gift package has been revised.)

By now, we are all familiar with the phrases, Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and Cyber Monday. Depending on your point of view, hearing any of these modern day bywords can either bring out the calm, sensible, organized type of shopper, or the more maniacal, salivating, werewolf -on-a-fullmoon-night, strain of modern day shopper. So with that in mind it is Julian Youth Baseball and Softball's pleasure to announce the kickoff for the 2014 Little League season. continued on page 5

To Be Determined

It’s been about two years since I first got my goats, so when I learned about the Yule Goat (or buck), I was intrigued. It appears that goats have been a part of Scandinavian Yule tradition longer than Christianity and have been incorporated into Christmas celebrations. Yule was basically — and still is with neo-pagans — a celebration of the winter solstice. Scholars think the Yule Goat (Jul Bukk or Jul Bock), may be a nod to Thor whose chariot is pulled by two goats, Tanngrisnir and Tanngnjóstr. The Yul Bukk is also the last sheaf of grain from harvest. Imbued with magical properties, I suspect farmers looked at the Yul Bukk as being lucky. Having enough of a harvest to where having sheaths of grain in Scandinavian countries probably was lucky. By the Christian era, the Yule Goat became the symbol of Christmas. Young people walked around caroling, playing pranks, and acting out plays that would often feature the Yule Goat. Singers would receive fruit, nuts and baked goods for their songs — presumably in bad times, it was a way for the needy to get food. continued on page 7
