In medieval calendars, January is part of the Christmas season and so still a time for enjoying yourself. They often represent January with images of Janus feasting - and having two faces just means double the feast! (BL Add. 50000 and 38116, Yates Thompson 13, Lansdowne 431)

King Wenceslas of Bohemia, famed for his charity, ruled in the 10th c. A Christmas carol tells how he goes out on the Feast of St Stephen, our #BoxingDay, with food and firewood for a freezing peasant, his page following in his steps. A legend of #kindness in the coldest season.

My sweet, feisty little princess left me this morning. She had recovered from her last incident, but she had another one on Sunday, and she didn't come out of it. I had hoped she would still be with us for Christmas, but I guess she was ready to go. I'm going to miss her so much.

The downside of Terror Camp is the "aww it's over" feeling. It always goes by so fast, but I'm excited to check out all the recordings later.


Another fabulous @terror_camp ! It's amazing that it's been going on for five years, and each one has been great! Looking forward to next year's! Thank you to the Terror Camp mods for all you do!
