Getting that horse skull checked in might have been an interesting experience.
|
|
|
|
|
I take the easy route: check in a whole horse and then remove the skull at the destination.

I have a tradition to not open the door for a couple of weirdos with a horse's head (attached to a horse or not) every Christmas
|
|
|
|
|
Tradition?
How often has it happened to you?
I have a feeling you might like Midvinterblot.
A spare horse, a couple of virgins or a king makes a party. And a politician makes a good replacement for a king.
Being religious is not a requirement, it rather has a tendency to kill the fun.

Interesting, I grew up in Wales and never heard of this. I guess it's one of those weird rituals of those strange southerners - including a certain will known CPer.

Same for me, only ever seen it mentioned on websites. Suspect that like may Xmas "facts" that do the rounds every year, someone made it up and all the rest copy it without any checking.
By way of an example, looking for a quiz tiebreaker question, I recently found a "fact" on a company website about three popular Christmas songs and how many times they would be played in the UK on radio over the festive period.
After a quick google of "How many radio stations in UK" and firing up the calculator, it transpired that if the stated answer was correct, every radio station in the country would have to play one of the three songs once every 5 seconds, 24 hours a day for 40 consecutive days.
And from then on, the magic was dead …

Yes, it's always disappointing to peep behind the curtain.

Today's logo is a snow scene with alternate text of "Happy Winter 2019!". So does Google think that mentioning the C word will offend people?
|
|
|
|
|
Well I'm offended!
Not by anything in particular, I'm just feeling generally offended by pretty much everything.

In that case then I'm offended that you feel offended.
|

That's probably offencist, and likely illegal.

I think it is about the 22th of December as the first day of the winter and not about the upcoming Christmas...
(Google has the capability to show different Google-Doodle to different people, for instance only I see 'Happy Birthday' on my birthday, and only in Israel we see Hanukkah, me think)
