    Anyone else celebrating Saturnalia and Winter Solstice?

    Saturnalia most resembles what is contemporarily practiced; the feast, the gifts, the greenery and decorations. The only exception: Our modern day Rome, DC does not permit the slaves to trade places with the masters for a day, even if it is only playacting.

    Exactly. No matter what people say this season celebrates, it's really Saturnalia. Live large!

    Guess I can quit pounding modern advertisers for corrupting society.

    I bet they didn't have a massive trade imbalance with China, either.
