Joyous Newtonmas to you all

So, on Newtonmas Eve I thought I'd wish any readers a happy season, or whatever the traditional Newtonmas greeting is. (Newton himself was something that sounds weird in the 21'st Century: a fanatical Christian Unitarian. He'd hate my appropriating his birthday of 25 December to replace the Christian festival. Good.)

Over on Skepchick I read about a secular seasonal festival held in England, and now I bitterly regret not being able to go. Any group where Richard Dawkins literally gets louder applause than a rock star is a group I want to belong to.
