Masters pretended to be slaves and slaves bossed around the masters. For a week!
Drunken Caroling was done at night. Usually in the nude.
I am glad you co-opted this popular midwinter celebration, and pointed it toward the Son instead of the Sun, Constantine. Good job. But I am super appreciative I don't have to sing Good King Wenceslas at the neighbors house all starkers in the 30 degree weather.
