Seasons Greetings (aka) the Winter Solstice.
As you look around your individual cities and towns, signs of the Winter Solstice are EVERYWHERE to be seen.
Houses decorated with colored lights, candles in windows, Trees (some type of spruces or evergreen) are adorned and lighted.
Partys very often with multiple 'spirits', over indulgence, and often 'shenanigans'. Fires burning Yule logs , mostly in indoor fireplaces (though often times in ones own backyard).
Gift Giving abounds.
Sure, the addition of electricity has changed things somewhat, the 'True Spirit" of the Winter Solstice is with us just as strong today, as it was in it's TRUE Origin, thousands upon thousands of years ago.
What can be more Cute than to watch the eyes of small children opening gifts from Ol' St. Nicholas ?
Yes, the Winter Solstice is 'one tough old bird'. It has Survived the ATTEMPED HIJACKING of its being, 2000 plus years ago !
It truly IS, the Most Wonderful Time of the Year !!
So, here's a Wish for ALL, this season of Winter Solstice, that everyone be Well, Safe, Healthy and Happy !
