We made it. Those of us living in the higher ranges of the northern latitudes have lived through months of everything getting darker.

Round about now everything is As Dark As It’s Going To Get.

And it’s at this very moment that we celebrate. Festivals have been occurring for many millennia at this time of year. Christmas, regardless of religious affiliation, is the festival of choice for many in the West.

We celebrate when it’s dark because we know that the light will return. It will. So we can light candles for ourselves to bring a little of the promise of light into our lives right now.

And, when possible, we try to light candles for others…those who can’t find the strength to believe that the light will ever return.
