On this winter solstice, the last day of Hanukkah, only four days to Christmas, five to Kwaanza, as well as the many other sacred events we celebrate this time of year, let us reflect on these words:

“This is the season
when people of all faiths and cultures
are pushing back against
the planetary darkness.
We string bulbs, ignite bonfires,
and light candles.
And we sing.”
-Anita Diamant

Happy holidays to one and all. Let’s light our candles and sing our songs together. Everywhere.
