Does anyone actually celebrate Kwanzaa? I've never heard any Black coworkers at any of my jobs mention this day.
Save the holiday season.
I don't care for New Year's Day, either, because it signals the end of the holidays. This means having to wait another ten months for the return of Halloween, which I consider the kick-off to the holiday season.
I don't use alcohol nor do I participate in loud, drunken parties.
Like you said, you hang up a new calendar. Big deal. There isn't much to look forward to for the next ten months, especially the upcoming miserable summer heat, which seems to be starting earlier and hanging around longer.

The best night of the year.

Do your wife and daughter like Christmas?

Thanks for the info.
Toronto sounds similar to where I live (the northern central U.S.) It was the mid- to late-1990s when I started noticing this warming trend. It appears to be getting progressively worse with no sign of letting up. So sad.

We may find out in 2030.
Many scientists believe that Europa (one of Jupiter's moons) may have an ocean under its icy crust which could possibly support life. A probe called the Europa Clipper was launched on October 14, 2024.
<i>The goals of Europa Clipper are to explore Europa, investigate its habitability and aid in the selection of a landing site for the proposed Europa Lander. This exploration is focused on understanding the three main requirements for life: liquid water, chemistry, and energy. Specifically, the objectives are to study:
• Ice shell and ocean: Confirm the existence and characterize the nature of water within or beneath the ice, and study processes of surface-ice-ocean exchange.
• Composition: Distribution and chemistry of key compounds and the links to ocean composition.
• Geology: Characteristics and formation of surface features, including sites of recent or current activity.
The spacecraft carries scientific instruments which will be used to analyze the potential presence of geothermal activity and the Moon's induced magnetic field; which in turn will provide an indication to the presence of saline rich subsurface ocean(s).</i>

<i>"It ain't Christmas without snow."</i>
I agree 100%. Global warming is ruining Christmas.
A white Christmas was pretty much a given in my area until recent years. Lately there has been this trend of the temperature warming up the week before the holiday, melting all of the snow. It happened again this previous weekend; the little snow we had has disappeared. More snow is predicted for Thursday but another warmup is expected on December 24. Last year on Christmas Eve the highs were 30 degrees (!) above normal.
If this continues I am seriously considering moving further north. The warmer weather from the southern latitudes is slowly creeping northward.
Is Canada being affected by this? There's a guy who is a regular poster on another forum I frequent who lives near Toronto. He says they haven't had snow there for most of the past decade. How is the rest of Canada faring?

Not a fan? Then why do you put up a Christmas tree and post pictures of it here? I'm not criticizing... just curious.
Save the holiday season.
I put my tree up on December 1. This is also the date when I begin listening to Christmas music and watching the movies and specials I have in my collection.

That's my guess, too. They are making fun of the fact that there have been so many sequels.
