Also, I note with displeasure that the new order of the seasons is more like "Always winter EXCEPT on Christmas".
Hey, it snowed for the solstice! I appreciate that.
(It amazes me in retrospect how much I accepted Aslan as solstitial myth and how few of the Christian implications occurred to me. I genuinely thought of year-kings and the dying sun before I thought of Jesus. Always winter and never Christmas: never the hinge of the year, when it turns back toward the light; just darkness and short days, the deadlock of winter. My childhood knowlege of comparative religion was better about everything but the mainstream.)
