The Sartorial Matters blog schedule will be changing over the holidays, and I'll look forward to being online again with you on December 1st. If all holds up well.

A tremendous applause is coming again this time from the Sartorial Matters blog for Law Enforcement and the Militaries for the recent Recursion handling, unexpected that it was.

What it was, the rumored Recursion following the Incursion you read about or helped with: a grouping of several of the victims of the Incursion and similar. Informants revealed that the Recursion was of arriving groups of abducted and kidnap victims who were organized into medieval or ancient styled military unit structures. It was interesting to note the movements with the Military and be unaware of who the people were, and it turned out well as they reported in under the actual groupings of recorded heraldic military units of the centuries past.

Organized in an historic proportion, the escaping victims were received and are now working with the Military, in actual sense, able and remilitarized under their historic units. This continued and successful style of assembly and reportability is helpful. The heritage and histories of the families involved were carried on in their dire circumstances during their time away from the world known and loved. Nobility and Royal Households members of the past were the entire components of their self-named Recursion. Typical groups were brought in under heraldic banners and flags and similar in numbers also expected, for example, eleven-hundred at a time. It is commendable that they utilized the clever methods to extract themselves from danger. They had mostly been victims of extreme identity theft along with the other crimes against them, and I hope you'll all welcome them back as the State of California and other governmental bodies assist them and restore them while they begin working anew with our militaries.

Why the Recursion worked is because the records of the past that were of the militarized and demilitarized heraldic groups still exist. It has been explained before on this blog and in other sources that the records are all in tact for such. Identification with these histories served in more than one sense. The continuing traditions and customs of even the demilitarized heraldic households are key to what saved the masses driven homeless and suffering much until they devised their Recursion. International Heads of State, of various Households and governments and their functioning bodies arrived in time to greet the arriving Recursion once they had been identified as exactingly of the heraldic units laid claim to.

Traditions have proven to more than of nostalgic importance just of late. I hope you'll remember them at the Holidays. Family members and even those of friendships that are generational should know them, or even help search them out. I was approached recently about how to start a new tradition within a household. That was a good question, as not all traditions need be new. They can be a custom that is selected or even borrowed, as long as it is sustainable, and renewable. Try to focus on one of your own more than the many over the Holiday Season ahead. Or, find one to custom fit.

The loneliest day of the year is Thanksgiving in America. For a variety of reasons, and you've heard that suicide rates skyrocket around the day. The USMC is noting once again the country wide sentiments in the form of a mild depression, related to the hard economy. Hard is the official term. What is allowable for normal mental health to be responsible for is to use the mildness in proper outlet form, such as indulging in a sad song, a moody poem, a dark piece of artwork. There are many ways to adjust to the normal mild depression that is around and about and when it hits you.

Being alone at the holidays isn't necessarily the problem it might seem, although it can cause ultra sadness to many. I've done holidays alone, and they take simple planning. If you wish to share your holiday with others or even introduced strangers, it can be a good experience. In the years when I participated at this level, my home was open to virtually any person within a certain category -- those alone from a certain part of the country and working in the Arts, for one, allowed a house to be full of warmth and merriment among strangers. Knowing of the need for safety precautions, the qualifying of guests is still in order. You might also be open to inviting as strangers soldiers who are stationed nearby. The local bases can help you find one or more guests for a traditional or even untraditional dinner, which I've done before in my family, as an idea. As a child, it was especially fun to anticipate hearing stories of their duties in the military.

If you're following along, this week I'm still on An English Murder, and I'm knitting a sunny yellow scarf now. When I'm back online after Thanksgiving, I hope to start reading a Victorian mystery that has been collecting dust on my bookshelf for awhile. Any Victorian era book might do, though, as I'm looking into a variety of things that are good topics this time of year from writings on the times that tend to reflect in many similar books or movies. Perhaps, even a movie, then ...

Have a blessed holiday and until next time.

Sartorially yours,
