December 22: Here Comes the Light

Per the DayBook:

If you are confused by the controversy surrounding the Holidays and the associated religions, get off the bandwagon and try celebrating Winter Solstice. It is usually celebrated around the 2lst and 22nd of each December -- and is considered the longest night of the year.

Winter Solstice is a way to connect with the greater Power energy found in the Universe -- the Great Mother. Winter Solstice helps to ward off depression and anxiety. It is a time to reflect, restore one's self, and renew the Spirit within by using music and dance around glowing bonfires on dark, damp, cold wintery nights.

Winter Solstice is a time to end disputes with others via cards or personal one-to-one conversations. The goal is to forgive, and share your "Love and warmth with others." And, without a doubt, you will see the Light of Love return to you.
