Amen, Jeri and Ruth!

As for me, I play the music, sing the songs, light the lights, bring in the greens, set out the lovely carved-wood nativity scene from the southern Appalachians, and celebrate as my good friend Alouette wrote in a round that came to her in a flash one Solstice:

"Candles keep us from the dark, and fire from the cold,
Good friends, good food, and music are light for the soul."
(can't figure out how or where to upload an mp3 of this wonderful song, but pm me and I'll email it!)


Ads? Crass commercialism? I just ignore them, as I do the rest of the year.
