Entry for Sunday, December 24, 2006 - Christmas Eve

Finding the spirit in the celebrations for this time of year is often hard to do. As we celebrate Solstichrismahanakwansika at the malls and at our favorite e-tail shopping venues, we deplete our wallets, our energies and our own spirits pursuing the "perfect" gifts. What we really hunger for is the joy of time spent with friends and family in the warmth of our homes. All of the celebrations of this season, Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza, and the solstice represent (among other things) bringing light into the darkness of winter. We do that with our tree lights, our menorahs, and our kinaras (candle holder for Kwanza).

My wish for you today is that you light the darkness of this winter's eve with love for your fellow man and make merry with your friends and families. Honor your own religious tradition and respect the rights of others to honor their own.

Namaste
