Holy Daze

The sixty foot nativity scene is up. Giant nutcrackers march in place and smile obscenely. Ice covers everything, and it's really just too bitter to be outside. ...Did I mention all those pipes a bursting?

It'll all be over soon. The sun will reach it's lowest place in the sky, stay there for three days then begin it's ascension once again. A new beginning looms just around the corner.

The days will get longer, the bitterness will recede, and all the birds (the ones that were smart enough to leave in the first place) will flock back to bathe us in song.

And I can't wait for winter's pastel to be replaced with a little bit of vibrancy.

Let's all pray for a heat wave. Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.

Have a safe and happy holiday.

Love,
Craig
