'Tis the Season to be So Jolly: Who Needs it?
Light up the cold, dark dreariness of the winter solstice
I used to just grit my teeth and bristle at all the ‘jingle jingle,’ 'jolly jolly’ and ‘merry merry’ stuff that seemed to start immediately after Halloween. Eee gads, Christmas decorations in department stores before Thanksgiving?!! Bah humbug!
As the days grow shorter and the nights become colder, we have an intrinsic need to mark the seasons of the calendar, to celebrate the rituals of our families, and to light up the cold, dark dreariness of the winter solstice.
A glowing, crackling fire, a hearth gayly decorated with the seasonal motif, stews and simmering spiced hot drinks filling the room with their special fragrance help us feel safe from the harsh winter elements.
I am so grateful for family traditions that mark the rhythm of the seasons. They anchor us and give us a place of belonging. These special times are designated for family closeness and celebration as they nourish and comfort the deepest parts of ourselves.
