Saturnalia & Solstice

Apparently my brain cannot cope with something as simple as managing to post Christmas cards.  Instead it decided to write ridiculous quantities of Saturnalian post-Eagle of the Ninth fiction, including badger slaying and complicated Brigantian dancing.  I don't have a clue why it thought this was a good idea, and I'm not even sure if it intended it as an alternative.  I certainly didn't tell it to do this. 
 

Words: 6,427  (?? good grief what on earth happened?)

Contains animal sacrifice (but not of named animals with personalities.) Dodgy varients on Roman religion.  Dubious supernatural beliefs. A kitten. Alcohol. 

( Through summer and autumn they had worked to exhaustion, hiring workers, cutting wood, raising fences, building walls and buying the first three cows, the sheep, chickens and the great bristle-haired sow that Esca had named The Belly. )
