Just a little fun and festive view of the Holiday/ Solstice/ Christmas Tree (it's Solstice for me! but we keep it up for a good while, and even more so some strings of lights- for me they are to brighten the long winter nights, and those last more than a couple of weeks!) I hope anyone who celebrates anything at this time of year has had a good holiday season, anyone not specifically celebrating has been able to enjoy some of the secular aspects (eg-food!), and those who have celebrations yet to come, I hope they are beautiful! For those who find all the fuss bothersome, or with tough memories or family situations at this time of year (well, you probably didn't look at this video!) I hope you might find comfort in some of the simple, ancient observances: noticing the cycles of the sun, the shifting seasons, enjoying cosy time indoors as well as the beauty of nature, celebrating returning light, while learning the lessons of darkness!
