Loose reins are given to public dissipation; everywhere you may hear the sound of great preparations, as if there were some real difference between the days devoted to Saturn and those for transacting business... Were you here, I would willingly confer with you as to the plan of our conduct; whether we should eve in our usual way, or, to avoid singularity, both take a better supper and throw off the toga.
Saturnalia is expected to be observed between the seventeenth through the twenty-third of this Sectar, and people are urged to use caution in this holiday season, not to drink and drive, drink to excess, and drug to Excess. Everyone knows Saturnalia can be a very festive time of the Yahren.
Government Offices will be closed for the duration of Saturnalia, and will open December 24th, Government Offices will be closed December 25th for the observation of Brumalia, in honor of the Lord of Kobol Dionysus.
People can be seen celebrating in the streets of Caprica City as Saturnalia takes full hold on the Confederation. For many Saturnalia is seen as a gift from the Gods, where many whom have lived their lives in piety can celebrate and let go. Though it concerns many portions of the Aschen Government, many have not decided to do anything in regards to Saturnalia.
As the last time someone tried to shorten Saturnalia, it generated public outrage over the issue.

USA Accepts membership into the Aschen Confederation of Planets!
PHILADELPHIA: IN a stunning decision reached by the American congress. The treaty was ratified to accept membership into the Aschen Confederation. This move will have some serious consequences in the future, as the move will entail the complete and radical restructuring of the American Government, a complete dissolution of the American Military, and transfer of legal and political burdens to the bicameral Aschen government.
The move comes in response to recent UCON Incursions into Washington DC, Sire Mollem McGregor took note of this situation and offered the Americans a way out, some say that the Americans sold their souls to the Aschen for a bailout. Only time will tell if the decision to join the Aschen Confederation wasa wise one.
The relocation process is outlined rather simply, existing Government officials needed on other assignments will automatically be granted relocation rights. The rest of the American population will be selected by lottery, screened for genetic deformities, registered with the Aschen central registry, and allowed to board one of the many Superbulk Megatransports for passage to the unpopulated Aschen world of Outlook.
Many Americans question this move, but many Aschen citizens are optimistic about the move, and welcome their new American brethren with open arms.
