It is the second night of Lunar Twilight, which is a time when the nights of 2022 return unofficial. Reason being the last Moon of 2022 carries the remainder of yesteryear's gift. During the day its 2023, but at night 2022, is able to hang on. During this time self-reflection is a key theme.
It is a solemn holiday, that is an extra bonus to say goodbye and make amends. Life sometimes changes on dime, and at others it takes its sweet time to say farewell.
Happy New Year, but alas for January 2023 we have a 20 day transition period due to the phases of Moon. The New Year is based upon one trip around the Sun, but the Moon has its own schedule. In this case, the last Moon of 2022 till carry on in January until January 20, 2023. Thus when the Sun sets for the first 20 days of January 2023, it reverts to the year 2022 in a spiritual sense. Thus we have 20 extra days to make amends, clemency, and say good bye. This is a time of soulful reflection.
The song Porcelain by Moby captures the reflective feels of this open holiday for all.
In contrast to other holiday's that have candle mast, all the candles are lit at the first night at sunset. When the lowest candle goes out the rest are blown out until then next following day at sunset, as the Moon is allowed to rule the skies alone. Eventually, as each night progresses, there will be fewer and fewer candles until one is left. Also note, that candles are synchronized to the phases of the Moon, thus it reflects the luminosity of the Moon. Upon the last night, all the candles will be out when there is a New Moon.
Gonfalon's are large flags. The neat thing about these types of flag is that they are presented properly and don't sag. The face is of the flag is set up on a cross bar so that the image can be properly admired.
It was during the special the Sesame Street, the Muppets, and Fraggle Rock all collided into each other. It was made during Jim Henson's peak and the writing and jokes are not just for children, as they hit for adults as well.This is another long, lost American Christmas classic, that hits a home run and should be at the top of every Christmas list replay to get the holly jolly sprit a flowing.
Coincidentally, Bonefish Grill is a bi-millennial. In 2084, Bonefish Grill will turn 84. I was impressed the Bonefish Grill Armada when it was 22, back in 2022! In order to keep Jabaa the Hut off my back!
Note the REAL original Millennials lived from 994 until 1000, which included the likes of Lief Erikson.
They are the few, the proud, the US Marines. The colours of the military branch is red and yellow. You can see the livery of the colors within the training platoon 3092. 1987 was year that public got an up close and personal view of how the Marines train.
Leaning to dance with the angel of death is privilege. Taking on this responsibility requires a certain amount of training and is a heavy burden on the heart and soul. Harsh language and being called mean names is the least of one's worry when one is assigned with ending the life of another.
Note the IJN numerical signal flags were retired after WWII or the Great Pacific War. They are rare sort to find, but they do exist.

The second place runner up of famous number's is Euler's Number, but pronounced more like 'Oiler's Number'. Thus the flag of 'e' or rather the flag of 'oy' is a superstar in maths.
Here we take the NATO numerical flags coded to 2, 7, and 1, to give us this sweet flag.
