Wherever you are, whatever you're celebrating, keep in mind Rose Nylund's immortal words: "Christmas without fruitcake is like a Saint Sigmund's Day celebration without the headless boy."

Yeah, we're eatin' fried potatoes and watching a Golden Girls marathon. What's it to ya? :b

Um, fried potatoes. I looked and looked for St. Sigmund. I did find Saint Justus of Beauvais.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Justus_of_Beauvais

"Tradition states that he was a child of nine who was denounced as a Christian while on a trip with his father to Amiens to ransom or rescue an imprisoned relative during the persecutions of Diocletian.

He was killed either for confessing that he was a Christian or for refusing to give away the hiding place of two Christians.

After he was beheaded, Justus' body then picked up the severed head and continued to preach. Justus is thus one of the legendary cephalophores, the saintly "head-carriers" who miraculously continued to speak or move despite being decapitated. This legend was elaborated in subsequent centuries, and stated that the headless boy managed to convert pagan onlookers."

Now what kind of a celebration would they have?
