Day of the Magic Child, 67th of Hagwinter, 525 M.E. (Helios): Originally, Day of the Magic Child was the 55th day of Hagwinter in Angus MacLise's Universal Solar Calendar. But in my New Revised Universal Solar Calendar, I couldn't resist calling the 67th day, December 25 in the Julian calendar, "Day of the Magic Child" for the Christmas holiday, so I moved it. And there you have it. 

It's warm today, quite a pleasant surprise after all those days of unseasonable cold we've had since late October.  It hit a high of 73° F today, only two degrees less than the record set in 2013 and 18 degrees above the average high for this date of 55°. For the record, the lowest temperature for December 25 in Atlanta was 0°, set in 1983.

I took advantage of the warmth by taking an extra-long walk today. I got in an 8.7-mile Van Buren, my longest walk since November 23rd's 9-mile Harrison.

But anyway, Merry Christmas, happy Hannukah, blessed Rohatsu, or whatever holiday you're celebrating or not celebrating. Saturnalia, Yule, Festivus, Day of the Magic Child, whatever. There are many paths.
