Solstice Celebrations!

Happy Hanukkah! Merry Christmas! Solstice Greetings! I'm happy because the days will begin to lengthen. I struggle to get out of bed in the morning when it's so dark because the sun rises later and the clouds that are bringing our second winter storm block what little light we get. I think perhaps I cursed the good weather trend when I posted about sitting outside in November. Sure, the snow is pretty, and the crews clear the snow pretty well. Thank you to those unsung heroes! Because of the dangerous wind chills, however, I won't walk outside for a few days. I'm grateful for my treadmill since I'll be eating a little too well with Christmas cookies and mashed potatoes. My instincts are to curl up on the couch with a good book and a cup of tea. 'Tis the season for hibernation.
