happy holidays

I find it so poignant that Christmas Eve and Hanukkah have fallen on the same day after such a tumultuous year. The days are both symbols of excitement, warmth, home, community, and welcoming.

May your heart be happy, and your spirit bright.

"Both of these holidays have light motifs in them, and they happen at the darkest time of year. Our ancestors felt the need to put more light into their lives and into the world, and that of course is the hope of any person who believes in a higher being,"
