Today, January 2nd, is Ancestors' Day or Hero's Day in HAITI...
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| My ancestors include a bocur, a houngan and a few dozen zombies... Yup, Yup, Yup... | |
 | |  |
|
 |
| | |
| Aren't I proud I married you now... well... trust me, you don't want an answer to that one... | |

Kakizome in Japan... and Berchtoldstag in Switzerland...

| | |
| It is our old custom that we do special New Year calligraphy on January 2... as if it wasn't hard enough to figure out our freaking alphabet the rest of the year! | |
| | |
|
 |
| | |
| That's cute, little girl... here, we have a "high festival day" to hold a drink and to exchange good wishes for the new year. Yeah - we cheat and extend the party! | |
| | |
|
|
|
|
And, in the Western World, tis the Feast Day of St. Seraphim of Sarov, St. Basil, St. Gregory Nazianzen, St. Munchin, St. Adalhard or Adelard...
|
|
|
|
| | |
| ...St. Caspar of Bufalo, St. Macarius of Alexandria, St. Vincentian, AND the Holy Name of Jesus! | |
| | |
|
|
| | |
| ALL ON THE SAME DAY! WOW - whoever said that it was just Hell that was getting crowded... eh? | |
