Sorry I haven't been around to rule you with a gentle but iron fist lately, I've been dealing with convincing a throat infection that I'm supreme ruler of it, too!
I can trust all of you to carry on being ruled by me while I'm not around, though, right?

Mearl, I'm a little shocked that we haven't invented a new December holiday in over 1000 years! We've got Hanukkah, the Winter Solstice, Christmas, and Kwanzaa, but that's only four days! (Yeah, some of them are technically more than one day, but we'll just stick with the prime day.) That leaves 27 days of December untouched by holidays! Sure, there's "Bill of Rights" day, but being US-centric, it's likely not around when the US is no longer its own nation. What holidays would have been invented in the 1000 Year Gap? We could always move the celebration of your birthday to December. After all, it worked for the Christians!

December 26 is Boxing Day, for those Brits among us.
December 31, besides being NYE, is also Caroline's birthday, if memory serves.
That still leaves 22 days for ferro to plot new holidays.

Simple answer to this one folks. wor Lizzie (HRH QE II for the uninitated) has two birthdays, her real one and an official one when all the pomp and ceremony takes place. Merle can simply decree a date in December to be her offical birthdy and all us loyal subjects will celebrate with out usual excess.

Kent has informed us that December 10 is Mearl Dox Day, so I guess that will do the trick. Hmm...I'm going to have to spend some time filling out at least a few of the remaining 22 days.
