Happy holidays: ALL THE HOLIDAYS!
Merry Christmas, Freaky Festivus, Happy Belated Hannukah, Happy Early Kwanza, A Very Merrily Anticipated Boxing Day, Hooray for the world not ending on December 21st, & all the rest...
So whatever you might be celebrating, please don't forget to enjoy hyperbolic aesthetic audacity, the joy of friends, family, and all the utterly weird and wonderful things that we do before returning to sober sanity in January.
That means, this is the time of year when we contemplate The Story of Outerspace Future Xmas . . .
On a frozen night late in December, a mysterious, but beautiful light was pulsating in the sky, it's colored rays reflected and refracted by ice crystals high in the atmosphere . . .
Being drawn to that spectral light, three quantum entities arrived from light-millenia away. Having no earthly bodies, they silently uttered, "Take us to your leader," in some unspeakable paradox of language . . .
And demanded to see the newly supernova'd interstellar space baby, whose existence was utterly unknown to us . . .
They bore no gift of frankincense, but instead produced a glowing boombox, powered by neutrinos and black hole dust. And when they started up an interstellar supernova birthday disco dance party, it went a little something like this . . .
Happy Holidays, Everyone!
