That is how the Winter Solstice is best celebrated. zg

From Wikipedia -

During the holiday, restrictions were relaxed and the social order inverted. Gambling was allowed in public. Slaves were permitted to use dice and did not have to work. Instead of the toga, less formal dinner clothes (synthesis) were permitted, as was the pileus, a felt cap normally worn by the manumitted slave that symbolized the freedom of the season. Within the family, a Lord of Misrule was chosen. Slaves were treated as equals, allowed to wear their masters' clothing, and be waited on at meal time in remembrance of an earlier golden age thought to have been ushered in by the god. In the Saturnalia, Lucian relates that "During My week the serious is barred; no business allowed. Drinking, noise and games and dice, appointing of kings and feasting of slaves, singing naked, clapping of frenzied hands, an occasional ducking of corked faces in icy water—such are the functions over which I preside."​

Those lunatics!? I didn't even click on it. A few words come to mind -- hateful, stupid, ludicrous, offensive -- You'd think such activities would violate some aspect of the law.

So they DO believe that Santa exists!?

You know if you rearrange the letters in Santa Claus's name you get Aslan Catus, which in Latin of course means, Aslan, the cat.

Only as an unholy archetype intended to draw attention away from (what they believe is) the "true" meaning of the Solstice observance.

I can also arrange them to say Satan Claus.

Strange, I owned a business called CATS, short for Computer, Accounting & Tax Services.
