Seasonal Ramblings

Christmas is just around the bend, and there is no snow on the ground. It's unnerving when a seasonal attitude is changed by the result of its lacking precipitation. This fact has left me feeling less and less Christmas-y, and it's saddening because winter is my absolute favorite season. The zealous haunting carols, the warm feeling you get when you gaze out the window and find everything so peaceful and dead, the family huddled around the counter top dipping pretzels in chocolate, and cookie making, and toffee brewing. The beautiful church services and the appreciation and worship of Jesus, no matter what your religious affiliation there is an incontrovertible spiritual aspect to the winter season, and that is what makes winter for me. I would urge all to have a wonderful time with your families and friends this holiday season and pray that this beautiful time of the year is everything you hoped it would be.

Until next time. SDG
