There is snow up to the windows where I am, and more is falling heavily as I write this. The darkness is receding, the light is increasing, since the Solstice a week ago.
We will brave the weather to spend the evening with the dh's family tonight - all our children will be under our roof later tonight and tomorrow - on Boxing Day we will visit my mother. I'm grateful that my internship supervisor has no expectations of my participation in the Christmas Eve, or Christmas Day, or this coming Sunday's service. I'm keenly aware this may be the last year I have the luxury of spending time just with my family for the holidays. But, for now, I will wrap presents, listen to holiday music, watch many movies, eat too much, and enjoy the presence of the people around me. There is much to be grateful for, there is reason for hope, and there is love.
Whatever holiday(s) you celebrate: I wish you peace, I wish you joy, and I wish you hope. Here is a holiday song for everyone...
