Well, I will start by spouting a cliché: we are the last day of the year 2023 and the last day of December. The time during the Christmas holidays I like least, because while it is still technically Christmastime, the celebrations I love are pretty much gone, done and dusted. And I don't like the new year, never did since I was a child. So anyway, I thought I would write this post with a cultural twist: the 31st of December is also called Saint Sylvester's Day. I was reminded of that on Facebook by some friends (cultural Catholics) who still call it like that. I know nothing about Saint Sylvester. But I know today is his day, if nothing else. Anyway, anybody else call today Saint Sylvester's Day?

Didn't Saint Sylvester have a running feud with Saint Tweety Bird?
