Today is the Winter Solstice, the shortest day of the year. It's 10am, and I'm seeing pink hints of dawn over the mountains. The sun will set at 3:41 today. This time of year it's cold and dark. Thank goodness for Christmas lights, that add sparkle to the season. Even a single candle brings warmth and light to the darkness. What a perfect season to celebrate the birth of the Light of the World, a candle in the dark. Merry Christmas to you, and may 2018 be a year of love and light for you and yours.
