bedlamhouse | My Annual Holiday Wish

This should have gone up yesterday or the day before, but (as with so many things this year) I find myself running behind. I can't let the time go by, however, without wishing each and every one of you my now truly traditional blessing for the season, with all joy in whatever way you celebrate the Returning of the Light. Many of us find ourselves in Darkness, and the dawn seems so far away, but we have so much support and love around us that we will indeed make it to the Light.

Every year I find I love these words more and more (and acknowledge the help of

cflute in giving them their final polish):

- as the sun increases, so may your joys increase.
- as the nights become shorter, so may your sorrows shrink.
- as those you love surround you, feel my love there as well.
- may you be blessed by your Gods, be they within or without.
- may all your dearest dreams come to you in time.

Whether you have already celebrated your own Festival of Light or are preparing for it yet to come, may all the blessing of the returning Sun keep you well, prosperous, and happy in the coming year.
