"In winter we lead a more inward life. Our hearts are warm and cheery, like cottages under drifts, whose windows and doors are half concealed, but from whose chimneys the smoke cheerfully ascends." ~ Henry David Thoreau

The year is winding to a close and winter nights are long. I hope that in the year ahead you spend time with a friend or two making things. I hope that you are brave and learn a new skill. May you try something new, create something wonderful and fill the world with magic.

To all those gathered in celebration tonight, Happy Christmas.
