Merry Christmas! like, again!

Other than that the mean cold has cauhgt with me, and I feel disgusting. I should be doing fun stuff, yet I don't. Slowly writing several long posts, that I eventually hope to post this weekend - if I have time, because it is looking to be busy.

Or, and it is the Christmas Eve for me, finally. I don't do anything specific, and I would be really confused if anyone asked me to do something, but I still consider this day special.

Several years ago (10-14 years ago) I would be fortune-telling right now - using various weird means like burning paper on a skillet and others. The way of surviving Russian customs boggles me to no end.

Our pagan ways managed well through Christianity, and state-approved atheism, and all kinds of enlightenment. I mean, it is not what it was before, but when I think of origins of some stuff, I realize that it goes a way back, so way, it isn’t funny. But, I guess, other cultures have their pagan rudiments as well – I mean not in books, in myths, in but in the general life habits.
