Netflix: Winter is here….All hail King Julien!
Happy holidays!!
I love that expression. I know most people sneer at it as a very cheery feel good American term, but I actually like it. Here’s why:
It is the season where everyone gets to have some time off. School children, college closes, most work places close, even just for a day, so everyone gets – wink – a holiday!
Calling it Christmas in this day and age….not really appropriate as the world becomes smaller and people mix more. Granted the dominant celebration in “the west” is the Christian Christmas, but Kwaanza (African American tradition) , Hannukkah ( Judaism) , Milad un Nabi/ ID-E-Milad ( Islamic), Guru Gobind Singh Birthday ( Sikh), Bodhi Day ( Buddhism), Yule (Wiccan & pagan).
And of course, midwinter, the winter solstice, falls on the 21st December and that’s what I celebrate. So I think it’s quite appropriate in our modern age and be all inclusive with the,
“Happy holidays”
(subtext – whatever you’re celebrating) phrase.
I finished my first essay for college last night at 1:28am, which is a relief as it is due this Thursday, and it’s time to finally let it sink in that yes, the holidays are on their way.
This year, the winter solstice falls on a Sunday, so a long walk surrounded, even partially, by nature is definitely on the cards for my little family. I’m getting my crochet groove on for presents and decorations, and long evenings indoors.
But before all that, I am sooo going to veg in front of the telly and just enjoy all the series I’ve been missing out on while researching and writing my essay.
So with so much stuff under my belt, I am very delighted to have a giveaway to celebrate!

great comp. we’d be lost without Netflix here! Watch it every day.
I LOVE it. It beats regular Television any day.
Oh that would have been fab! And agreed, out with merry Christmas !
Out with it for sure!
Enjoy the your holidays! We’ll be celebrating the Solstice too, but we’ll also have (a secular version of) Christmas. along with the rest of our Christian family. Great prize, please count me in!
You’ll have to let me know what you do for Christmas. We’re still kind of muddling our way through making our own tradition.
We mostly just eat! We’re still a little muddled ourselves truth be told. It’s a mix of what our family traditions were minus the religious bit and some Solstice symbolism. It’s usually a hectic time of visiting family (we both have huge families) and trying to find time to sit quietly and reflect.
Poor maurice is in for some trouble.
My daughter loves Maurice!
I would love to win a year’s subscription to Netflix!
It really is great. You’re in the hat too!
Please put me in the hat!
