Curses have given the world some of its greatest legends and folklore, and the more grisly and gory, the better we like them.

For the entire Pagan community Christmas should be one of the most sacred times of the year, but the lack of any formal written liturgy has consigned the festival to a minor observance in the Pagan calendar.
