I really thought the Costanza’s holiday creation, Festivus (The holiday for the rest of us) was all that was needed — you know, a cute, vaguely secular alternative for those not inclined to X-mass, Hanukkah (how many spellings are there for this?) and the laughable Kwanzaa.
Apparently there exists the need for something a little more tactile – more observable for today’s secularists.
Humanlight to the rescue.
Humanlight is a new holiday created to “…celebrate humanity, reason, and hope.” There are celebrations planned in some 14 U.S. cities across the nation, most to be organized by “First Coast Freethought Society, Inc.” or “Atheists and Other Freethinkers” type organizations.
I’m going to stick with Festivus for this year at least…
Rob lives and works in the town of Jackson, MS where he leads the interactive department at an awesome advertising and branding agency. Life is slower than most places in Mississippi, and Rob tends to like it that way. Some of his favorite life experiences include sailing across the Atlantic Ocean in a 44ft sloop, learning to speak Swahili while living along the lower slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro, and zipping along the curviest of Mississippi country roads in his VW Rabbit.
