Great summary of what I would like to say so since someone else is saying it better I thought I would just pass it along!  Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!

Original content by Charles Buell

The shortest day of winter being the path to the longest day

It seems this IS the season

(Some would say the season with a reason)

---it’s likely true---even with none.

 

The darkness of the shortest day

(When too dark to stay out and play)

---fosters memories of the light that's on the way.

 

Reflecting on the year is like a mirror

(With the tipping of champagne or bottles of beer)

---and kisses that take us from year to year.

 

We are all brothers and sisters you know

(All the colors of the rainbow)

---regardless the sorrows lived or seeds sown.

 

We pretend we are all so different

(Religion, sex, brains----even accents)

---hiding behind the facades we daily re-invent.

 

The atheist and the fundamentalist are similar

(As are Wylie Coyote and Road Runner)

---one can’t exist without the other.

 

Your roof, or my roof, is a matter of chance

(Whether gold leaf or crushed cans)

---we share the same roof after the last dance.

 

Whether you find yourself in a prison of stone

(Or a prisoner of sickness in your bones)

---freedom is to be found when one is alone.

 

When compared to a bird or a rock

(It should come as no great shock)

---we are each merely a chip off the same great block.

The lights

Tis a Holiday for All---so here is my wish for everyone to make it a great one----and for everyone to create a great New Year as well!
