TRADITION | Fête de Noël : origines, choix de la date du 25 décembre, crèche et sapin ➽ http://bit.ly/Fete-Noel En l'absence de tout document établissant le jour de naissance de Jésus, les chrétiens hasardent tout d'abord les hypothèses les plus fantaisistes et les plus contradictoires pour fixer la date de la naissance du Christ, avant qu'au IIIe siècle les Églises d'Orient fixent la Nativité le jour de l'Épiphanie, puis que l'Église de Rome adopte au IVe siècle le 25 décembre pour fêter Noël

Calvin and Hobbes was syndicated 40 years ago this November

It ended two years before I was even born, but my mom had all the books and I grew up reading it. Bill Watterson is a major inspiration of mine.

Grott doesn't much care for tuna fish, but he'd do anything for a peanut butter and nutella sandwich!

Aatxe

Among the numerous animal-shaped geniuses found in Basque mythology is Aatxe. Usually, these animal-shaped geniuses take the shape of male animals like pigs, dogs, vultures, goats, bulls, and rams. They are frequently found close to cave and grotto openings and are mentioned in myths about a world beneath the surface. They are closely linked to the Basque goddess Mari and are thought to be either her servants or her underlings, depending on which interpretation you choose. Natural phenomena are ascribed to these geniuses, who stand in for the forces of the earth.

The English translation of the name Aatxe is "young bull" or just "calf." For this reason, people sometimes refer to it as "red calf," or Aatexegorri.

The Aatxe is the guardian of Grottes de Sare, or Sara's Cave. When someone in his domain offends Aatxe, who often takes the shape of a red bull or occasionally a man, he is known to exact revenge. He is therefore occasionally referred to as the "enemy" or the "demon".

Marseille. J'ai une tradition perso : faire une balade dans le Parc National des Calanques le 1er Janvier....

Le chemin au nord du Pas de la Selle pour rejoindre le Parc Pastré passe par un tunnel naturel très étrange, face au sommet de Marseilleveyre.
