Freethinkers, it's once again time to celebrate the tilt of the earth! The
shortest day of the year is fast approaching, and you know what this means:
everyone who is anyone in religious fable was born at this time. Jesus, Mithra,
Frigga, Saturn, Mordoc, Horus, Sol, Apollo, Osiris, and many others were born
at the time of the winter solstice.
The Fayetteville Freethinkers don't have a formal Freethinker meeting in
December but instead will once again celebrate the winter solstice with a feast.
This will also be an officially recognized celebration of the recently invented secular
holiday, HumanLight, in Northwest Arkansas.
HumanLight presents an alternative to religious holidays during the winter
season. It is a humanist's vision of a future in which all people can identify with each
other, behave with the highest moral standards, and work together toward a happy,
just and peaceful world. HumanLight was created and founded as a new
humanist-oriented winter holiday by Joe Fox and Gary Brill, members of the
New Jersey Humanist Network.
You can read about HumanLight here:

HumanLight is celebrated on or near the winter solstice, which is Dec. 21st. You can
celebrate HumanLight in different ways. We do it by getting
freethinkers together to eat some food.
We have our room reserved for about 45 and will have door prizes and a nice menu
(with veggie option) which includes a drink and dessert for $18.99 (plus tax and tip).
So, friends, here is the time and place:
Date: December 18th.
Time: 6:30pm
Location:
Powerhouse Seafood and Grill
