I’ve seen a number of great Lemon Pig posts again this year, and some claiming the tradition as starting in the 1970s.
In fact, the earliest reference comes from Ballou’s Monthly magazine in 1882.
Here is the article, which also describes how to make one.

The "Zoolights and the Continuing Resolution" email on my neighborhood listserv is the most D.C. thing ever. (It's also a fair point to raise, since a government shutdown would shutter the zoo and the many Smithsonian museums.)
