Sirius wants to know if you plan to celebrate Lupercalia in the way that involves lashing and sacrificing dogs, or the way that involves shagging. And he is telling me to let you know that if it's the later, he thinks it's a fantastic idea, although it needn't be a big to-do. A small, informal observance with friends might be nice, he suggests.

He just thought you should know. He also supports mistletoe. And...isn't exactly sure why you thought advent wreaths would hold special significance to him? I must admit, I share his confusion.

And I demand a New Year's party. Demand it.
