Highlights

Togas off. Party hats on. A chibi storybook-watercolor Saturnalia tee for Latin and history teachers, classics fans and anyone who needs an excuse to party in December.

THE STORY BEHIND IT
Saturnalia was the ancient Roman midwinter festival honoring the god of seed and sowing. It officially began on December 17. Romans held a public banquet, shouted "Io Saturnalia!", swapped small gifts such as wax candles and little clay figurines, and loosened everyday rules, with the pointed felt cap of a freed person worn by everyone. The wool bonds on the feet of the god's statue in his temple were untied for the festival.

WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT
- Saturnalia shirt: the watercolor chibi festival host with curly white hair and beard, a red pointed cap with a pom-pom and a red and gold robe, holding a sickle and a sheaf of wheat, one foot wrapped in wool, with two clay figurines at his feet, says "Togas off. Party hats on."
- For Latin and history teachers, classics fans, Ancient Rome lovers, winter solstice gatherings and December party hosts
- Big, bold speech-bubble joke, with the design printed 10 to 11 inches wide, depending on size, so it reads across the room
- Original chibi watercolor art by Honeyman Tees: curly white hair and beard, a red pom-pom cap, a red and gold robe, a sickle, a wheat sheaf, wool-wrapped feet and two small clay figurines
- Soft, comfy tee, made to order and printed to last
