    How do we know? It can be anytime between the 20th and the 23rd December? The earliest sunset is actually on the 7th of December. I'm confused. What if it's a leap year?

    The link I posted actually has some interesting points on this. Also explains why it gets colder in Jan & Feb, despite longer hours of sunshine.

    How did you guess? We are sacrificing Jose Morais agent this year.

    Should be a good one, the amount of methane in his body should get the barbecue going nicely.

    I find Christmas a bit drab in comparison.

    I've heard of Wookey Hole? That is a big old cavern to fill. I guess the giant may be up for the job?

    Yeah I don't know what came over me. Got my wires crossed there. I always thought it was called Nookie hole and couples went there and the hunters penis for fertility. That's the thing with pagan ritual :D:D

    It would be quite cold up on that hill.

    As much as I'm in thrawl to pagan ritual, science would be on the side of the nice warm cave.
