    I was on a forum several years ago, where one of the guys was Jewish. His wife was a Christian. He said when he was a kid, all the other kids were excited about Christmas, and he always felt like an outsider. But now he celebrates Christmas as well as Hanukkah. I thought that was great. So whatever holiday you celebrate, remember the meaning of it, and enjoy as much as possible.

    I’ll second that.  My favorite is the winter solstice, with hope for another spring.

    Merry, Happy, Blessed, ALL the Holidays and heartfelt warmest of wishes to everyone.  The following is something I pop up with every winter season - (the child in me!)

    I made myself a snowball
    As perfect as could be.
     I thought I'd keep it as a pet
    And let it sleep with me.
    I made it some pajamas
    And a pillow for its head.
    Then last night it ran away,
    But first it wet the bed.

    Author:  Shel Silverstein

    With more heartfelt wishes for unexpected blessings both large and small to come to one and all as the page of 2022 turns to the whispers of 2023 to come, and may it be far more gentle and kind.

    J.

    Winter solstice!  Shortest day of the year.  Tomorrow the days start to lengthen. YIPPEE!  DH and I have a long time friend who lives outside of town in a beautiful log cabin.  Every December 21st, he sits on his front porch under the stars (or whatever the weather) and smokes a cigar- - his homage to the return of Spring.  I always send him a card to commemorate.  Our kids thinks we’re all nuts.  

    Happy Holidays- - may 2023 be gentler and kinder to us all.
