The longest night is coming up. Interesting fact: in Christian mythology, the 25th of December was selected to celebrate the birth of Jesus because it approximates the point at which the amount of light starts to increase. For the ancients, who had time to consider these matters, the winter solstice meant the rebirth of the Sun. A lot of thought has been taken up by the tilting of our planet as it spins around a nuclear inferno.
Dave Baker has combined a lot of this into a track to raise funds for London Inner City Kitty. Do they know it’s Festivus? No, cats don’t have higher order philosophies. But they do appreciate being looked after when it gets dark and cold.
