Frazz by Jef Mallett for December 20, 2020

You can always celebrate waking up and knowing who and where you are.

Any day I wake up breathing is a good start—the rest is just details. Of course, my Dad would growl, “Day ain’t over yet, kid.”

He lived every day as if it were a holiday? Is that why we haven’t seen him at school since March?

We send best wishes and prayers to everyone for a wonderful holiday season, odd as it seems, and a brighter new year.

The word holiday come from the compound holy-day… If you’re still healthy, give thanks each day!

And just what are you suggesting about FRAZZ ?

Is that a glow of hope in the last panel?

Axial tilt is the reason for the season. Or so they tell me.

Don’t forget the great Jupiter/Saturn conjunction tomorrow, if you’re lucky enough to have a clear sky. Last time these two giants lined up at night was 800 years ago. Look southwest after sunset. And for those who are down in the dumps, cheer up, days are getting longer starting tomorrow 5h02!!!

Thanks to Mallett for “celebrating” the solstice before the Christmas holiday!

The Dandy Warhols agree with you, kid.

♪♫WE WISH you a merry Solstice, WE WISH you a merry Solstice, WE WISH you a merry Solstice, and Happy Short Day!♪♫

From Mrs. Claus: "Nu, first of the year you go on a diet !!

Happy (all 6) Holidays, Spacehoppers!!

As XKCD put it, we can’t know we’re doing it right until that moment when we find out we didn’t.
