2. Celebration
It’s December. The beginning of summer and the end of the year. It’s a time of bare feet, cicadas, mangos, and sunstroke. The Planthunter has taken a little sidestep away from our inaugural theme of Death, and wandered towards the light with this months theme of Celebration (hence the bad Kylie Minogue reference!). No, it is not a christmas issue. Well, not entirely. C’mon, that would be a little cliched!
