Saturnalia is over, but it used to be my favorite pagan holiday for this time of year. It got a little too crazy though. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturnalia

✨Saturnalia Season✨

Bring out the fancy lounges and the best crockery, it’s time to feast!

May your festivities look something like this with drinking horns (rhytons), fabulous hair nets, and delightful tripod tables.

Fresco from Herculaneum depicting a Roman banquet. A woman and man, both nude from the waist up, recline on a dining lounge. The woman wears a hair net while the man holds a drinking vessel up high. They are attended by a woman who is likely an enslaved person. This fresco is held by the MAN Napoli, inv. 9024.
