Ash Wednesday / Lent

Is this a household observance for you?

No, it's a religious observance.

For the Christian, Christmas is a religious observance. However, it is celebrated (generally) by the entire household in exchanging gifts, cards, etc. So that is the context of my question there.

Let occurs at the same time as the historic Festival of Booths. I’d explain the language arts joke, but it’s probably too political for a religion chat room, and also it revolves around atomic spelling. People think you’re talking down to them when you explain jokes, and also you just shouldn’t, because once you’ve done it they know what you know.

Explaining Lent/lint is a good way to find out which side of the American Civil War people fought on, though. Thin about it. Booths. Voting Booths, Polling Booths, John Wilkes Booth…..
