A modern commentary on the true spirit of Christmas

pedanther pointed me to this wonderful story: Standing in the Spirit in papersky's journal. lizziebelle, and gordon_r_d, I suspect you two, especially, will understand and appreciate the protagonist's anger at Christmas.

Let's save this rare and endagered word from extinction!

"Rorty" An old Saxon word, seen in the wild in a holliday greeting discussion here: BS: Rorty Solstice.

The idea of starting a Word-Watcher's life list for rare words started in the discussion on the tail of this lj entry.

"Yule" is an old Saxon Holiday, so I figure an Old Saxon word should go with it! Don't you? ;-)
