Thank you for this article about the Pagan influence in the Christian Xmas celebrations. I found it really interesting!( for example, I didn't know Holly was sacred to Saturn and how Christians in Roman times used it to conceal their faith).

I hope you are enjoying your time in Spain, my birth land. We were there last month visiting my Mum who also lives near Alicante ( Santa Pola ) . The weather was indeed summery, but apparently now it's beginning to get cold , according to my Mum.

I am not sure if I can make the Moot but I'll try!

Blessings from Sussex

Hi ya…

Thanks for commenting and glad you enjoyed the post.

Weather isn’t too cold, but very noticeably cooler than the last time we were here (end of August). Today, for example, the sun is out, there’s a blue sky and it’s much much warmer outside than it is in the house.

Will have to pick your brain about places to visit fir when we’re out here again.

Sorry to hear you’ll miss the moot but it will be recorded and available on the membership site if you’re interested.

Again, thanks for reading and commenting.

Wishing you all the best of the coming season.

Blessings
