We are a week away from our celebration of the winter solstice. As a matter of fact, the solstice occurs on the 21st this year and as always, Christmas is the 25th, but what is 4 days among friends.
I've probably said this in other holiday seasons, but in this pandemic year, it really does feel as if Christmas is passing us by. I know the celebration of the birth of a brown baby during a Roman census over 2000 years ago has devolved into an imitation Saturnalia of excess despite Christianity's best efforts to keep our focus on its own brand of religion. I have happily joined in the American version of the holiday ever since I received the Santa Claus indoctrination as a toddler. Somehow, the magic isn't there this year. At least, so far.
