December 25th & Holidays

QUESTION: Hi Marty. I was wondering if you knew about the ancient Roman

holidays? I was wondering if they had a big commercialized Holiday
like Christmas but pagan Roman? I figure since you fund a lot of
research you might have the best answer.
N
ANSWER: Yes, it was December 25th which was the feast of the sun god Sol. Here is a gold medallion of Constantine with Sol. Nobody knew the say Christ was born, so with most holidays, they rapidly lose their meaning. We have Veteran’s Day and Labor Day but they are just party days for most people. They lose their original meaning. That was the case with Sol. You could not remove a holiday that was always celebrated so they made it Christmas. The connection between Sol and Christ was that both were seen as supreme. Sol was names Sol Invictus meaning invincible for he appeared every day to give warmth and life..
As far as exchanging gifts or small figurines known as sigillaria, took place on the Holiday of  Saturnalia which was the feast of Saturn celebrated on December 17th. The two holidays became merged in December 25th with the commercial aspect of gift giving. The image of Sol became the Statue of Liberty.

Great Preference Given To Dishes Featuring Bacon and Jack, Super Foods!

It’s that time of year again! Pull up a log and sit a spell. We have snacks and drinks, a warm, toasty fire and fine friends gathered round. In two weeks we will celebrate our  wonderful American holiday, Thanksgiving. I know that it is a great favorite for almost all of us, and perhaps your family, like mine, has the best feast of the year on that day. Our family has four generations come together, sometimes forty or fifty people. We have been doing this for years, and we never even discuss the menu any more, haven’t for probably twenty years or more. We each bring two or three dishes that we do best, and it is the best meal of the year. We even have the specialties of loved ones long gone, recipes saved and lovingly prepared by granddaughters and even great granddaughters, and a few of the guys too! Although they sure do shirk cleanup!

However, it  makes a holiday special, that wonderful combination of old and new. In honor of that, here’s my new find for you guys. I cant wait to try it myself.

From Oasis in a Gastronomic Wasteland Blogspot I bring you Uncle Jack’s Whiskey Brined Turkey.

Brought to you (again) this year by popular demand. Mine.
