Today is the Winter Solstice. The longest night of the year has just passed. And from here on, the days become longer. So the world has turned towards the sun. Although with an unnamed storm howling outside, it doesn’t feel much like it. This morning I attached sprays of holly and ivy to our front door and brought our Christmas tree inside. We keep one growing in a pot. It used to be just six inches tall. Now it is about four feet. All of our Christmas decorations are up and the house is filled with light. The larder and fridge are stuffed with goodies. When we have greeted family and friends and offered them good wishes, we shall settle down and feast.
Wishing you and yours a Happy Christmas.
