So rich a field for witticism there. Instead, I'll merely wish you and yours a very Happy New Year. I'm not Catholic, but I seem to recall: isn't tomorrow celebrated as the Feast of the Circumcision? I was going through my mom's baby book recently and came across her note regarding my circumcision: "He didn't cry!" Apparently, I've always been tough.

The “Octave Day of Christmas” is the date of the Circumcision of Christ, but January 1 is currently observed as the Feast of Mary, Mother of God. The Orthodox, who never update, probably still have the 8th day of Christmas as the Feast of the Circumcision.
Some of my boys were given a tiny piece of candy at the time.
