A time when we slaughter our beasts, rather than let them starve, and feast on their produce. A time to increase our calorific intake, to take on weight to last us through the time of scarcity and want as we struggle through the winter and into the lean period of spring.<br /><br />As the days shortened and the dark time lengthened it was a time for story-telling, and for using up the fruits of summer and autumn now fermentated and intoxicating. This must have been the time when the Gods, the Heroes and Sagas were made, there can be no other explanation.<br /><br />Seaonal Greetings to you and your own and happy story-tellingAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01378637587289025611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-74687126830740090832012-12-16T02:11:10.428+00:002012-12-16T02:11:10.428+00:00I like happy endings too.
