I am really getting into the holiday spirit. For the past two days I have been working on getting the Christams cards out in the mail. I just love sending Christmas cards. This is how I keep in touch with people who I don't see regularly, all my friends back in New York etc. This was something my mother did because all our friends were in the army like my dad and people were every where. So I have kept up the tradition.
This past weekend I started bringing in the greens for the celebration of the Solstice. I have pine from my trees on the drive way and desert holly from the land out back and mistletoe from the old ranch were I use to live. Mistletoe for healing, holly and pine for the Lord and Lady of the Greenwood. My Solstice is based on the old English, Celtic traditions. I will try for some Scottish traditions this year. All the candles have been burning every night as it is getting really dark around here, especially with all the rain we have been having. It is just wonderful. Snowed in Sedona this past Saturday while I was up there with a client. So beautiful. I just love snow. Of course I don't have to really deal with it any more, but I think I still miss it alot.
Hope everyone is getting or has gotten ready for the holidays, I know Chanukah is running now and Solstice night will be coming soon and Christmas. I think it is important to look way beyond the crass comercialism of this time of year and keep that Tiny Tim thing alive, lets do peace on earth and even if you don't believe ( like me) God Bless Us Everyone.
