as we wait for the deepest and longest night of the year
i light a candle for you, dear readers,
and send along the most magical part of the holidays,
the miracle of light.
the oil that lasted,
the star of bethlehem,
the return of the sun,
the light within,
the illumination of hope and love.

Enjoy your holiday blog hiatus, Karen. Wishing you happy sewing times and beautiful scenes up in your lovely spot.
ReplyDeletedear karen, thinking of you tonight. the wind is bellowing beyond the windows and the darkness has wrapped us in secrets. although i'm reading two very good books right now, i think it's the perfect night to begin rosamund pilcher...so i'm off to bed with sydney, rosamund and a frozen milky way.
ReplyDeleteHappy Winter Solstice! xo tqoe
Merry Christmas. Hope you enjoy the day! Maribeth
ReplyDeleteYes indeed, there's something so magical about lighting a candle to chase away the darkness at the winter solstice...blessings for a warm and safe season to you and yours!
