Merry Christmas to you too, GW!

(After all, Christmas was swiped from the Romans, Jesus almost certainly having been born in the springtime. So it seems appropriating it for one's own purposes is a well-established precedent!)

But Io Saturnalia, anyway!

You know the saying, "When in Rome"
Besides, it's quite understandable that they got tired of opening the ole' papyrus every morning and reading the same score, again and again...
"Lions 1, Christians 0"

But Io Saturnalia, anyway!

So Julian, when are you going to observe the ceremonies at the temple of Aphrodite? ;-)
