I assumed the Padre was using the British form of the nativity and new year good wishes. In his Mother Country that is what they are wont to say.

You know, zmjezhd, maybe that Mother Country is right. Poetry aside, "merry" does seem more akin to the traditional debaucheries that we celebrate New Year's night. Besides, I was only spoofing the good pardre's kind post. Sorry. Happy Christmas.

We are all fated to travel far from our mothers.  Share some love with your nearest and dearest, wherever you are and whatever the season's special meaning for y'all.

FS is what I'd call an anglophile. It is from his posts that I picked up his tendency to use the phrase "Mother Country" when refering to the UK. I was kidding themilum, since I was sure he knew that's what the English say 'round 'bout this time. No disrespect intended, even if the American South and Ole Angleterre are not my mother country. Have a fun and safe Saturnalia, y'all.

As it turns out, lokum is made from cornstarch, not agar as I'd thought; so unlike Father Steve's whiskey, it contains little in the way of protein. Of course, cornstarch sounds anything but exotic to us, but I wonder if it wasn't imbued with New World magic when the Sultan in Topkapi consorted to make sweets.
