It’s Christmas!  And that means it’s only one day until Boxing Day!  Since Limey’s been scarce, here’s an overview of that most British of all holidays:

On December 26th, members of all classes of society attempt to sneak up behind someone, ring a bell, and then punch them smack dab in the kidney.  However, if the victim notices the sneaker, they may shout “God keep John Douglas!” at which point the would-be puncher is obliged to lay down flat, regardless of the conditions of the surface they may find themself upon, and permit their “victim” to stand upon their back and count loudly to eight.  After this forfeit, the game resumes, but if someone should score two “standing eight counts” against someone, they are no longer a valid target for that opponent.

Dog. Woods. Snow. Joy.

As far as the stars go, Christmas starts off with a double “magic” alignment (of the Moon and Mercury), so that’s unusually appropriate.  Later in the week (Tuesday – Friday)  the moon moves into opposition with Mars.  Now this can easily be a sign of a rebellion crushed, but in this case, I think it’s more likely a sign of a major shift in the war.  Follow my logic:  That opposition holds for two days.  Then the moon moves into an alignment with Jupiter (righteous domestic rule OR a change in domestic rulership) That evening Mercury goes RETROGRADE, and then the day after that, Mars ALSO goes retrograde.  Is this a Washington crossing the Delaware situation?  The main problem with interpreting this is that It’s unclear who the “protagonist” is in this situation, since neither of the parties is paying me.

“We should probably wrestle.” “I dunno, not really feeling it.” “C’mon!” “Oh, alright, I guess”
