CELEBRATION, contracts. This word is usually applied, in law, to the celebration of marriage, which is the solemn act by which a man and woman take each other for husband and wife, conformably to the rules prescribed by law. Diet. de Juris. h.t.
I HATE the stupid shoppers all running around, etc but I like the holidays because we actually stop everything to just be with our family and friends and visit. I use these holidays to remember to turn everything off (EVEN LEARNING) and be with the people I care about. That way I can extend what I have learned to them with our time together as well.
I look at Christmas as an exercise in Trust Law now. The shit people are gonna get tomorrow morning were acquired 'By Operation of Law' - it will be GIVEN to them, a GIFT...meaning whatever they get means they didnt have to ENGAGE IN COMMERCE to get it. The stuff they will be buying for themselves for half-off on Boxing Day though, will be acquired by means of CONTRACTING with 'the LAW MERCHANT' ;)
None of your business, Pierr- errr, i mean - thanks for the compliment buddy! And GOOD TIDINGS to you my friend-in-Quebec!
"Good Tidings" includes an obscure reference in Admiralty-Maritime Law which actually means to go fuck-yourself on Christmas Eve ;) ;)
