Merry Newtonmas!

Remember, axial tilt is the reason for the seasons.

For the holiday, that’s something else. The reason for your particular holiday is whatever you say it is.

Merry Newtonmas!

And Christmas, definitely-safely-past-solstice, Kwanzaa (slightly early), Hannukah (quite late, I know), Xmas, or whatever other seasonal holiday you wish to celebrate.

Also, bah humbug! And a satisfying Saturnalia to all.
