I don't begrudge you for stealing the holiday; at least it kept a lot of
the traditions alive. Most Christians did phase out the naked fire
jumping part though...


You're such a history buff! Oh, wait, you probably don't do the naked
fire jumping, so maybe you're not a buff after all!


Nah, I skipped that part. I'd given up the mead of inspiration years
before.


Less good than belief would have it
Is mead for the sons of men:
A man knows less the more he drinks,
Becomes a befuddled fool.

Be not over wary, but wary enough,
First, of the foaming ale,
Second, of a woman wed to another,
Third, of the tricks of thieves.

Hubby used to make mead. His last batch is still waiting to be bottled
up. It's pretty good stuff, too.
