“What is that symbol?” asked Fingers, pointing to the 27-pointed December Festival star on top of the tree.
“That is the symbol of December Festival. It is made up of a number of previous human icons – the seven pointed star of the Internationalists which represents all the continents of the earth, the six pointed star of the Israelites, the five pointed star of the neo-pagans, the four pointed star of the Conventionalists, the three pointed star of the Pythagoreans and the two pointed star – which is more of a sharpened stick really – of the Intolerants. All overlaid to create the 27-pointed star that stands for peace, justice and carnivorous indulgence with family and friends.
