Traditions

Posted by PJ under holidays, quote of the day, tradition
No Comments

Happy holidays, everyone, whatever your traditions may be. The random quote will be on vacation until January 4, 2016.

Random quote of the day:

“Do what you do. This Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, New Year’s Eve, Twelfth Night, Valentine’s Day, Mardi Gras, St. Paddy’s Day, and every day henceforth. Just do what you do. Live out your life and your traditions on your own terms. If it offends others, so be it. That’s their problem.”

—Chris Rose, “Lights in the City,” 1 Dead in Attic: After Katrina

Community

Random quote of the day:

“Making a community is not a magic formula for happiness and good; making a community is the result of the happiness and good which people already possess in principle, and the community, whether of one family or several, is the infinitely variable expression of the excellences of human beings, and not their cause.”

—editor, Manas, March 23, 1955

This is CGI, but one of the best of its kind I’ve seen. The payoff is definitely worth the watching.
