Whenever someone mentions caves, I’m taken back to a college criticism and theory class and a week’s worth of Plato’s “The Allegory of the Cave.”

How are we truly brought from darkness to light? The Christ child.

Merry Christmas!

(Truth be told, I asked for an early spring for Christmas.)

Wishing you the happiest of holidays, dear Dee! On this beautiful night, I will include a special prayer that freezing rain will not hinder your Christmas Eve plans.

A lovely post, Dee! I like your idea that Christmas is appropriately celebrated at this time because during these dark days we can all use some hope. Wishing you and your family a blessed Christmas!

I’ve enjoyed the unusual warm days here in Piedmont America! I was blessed by your photos and by the reminder of our Light in this dark time of year.

Thanks for the lovely tour, Dee. To imagine how hard life must have been in ancient times is scary. We too had some warmth the last couple of days, but might see that white Christmas too. I think it has happened once before since we moved back to TN. It was often so in PA. I am trying to remember any in OK, there surely must have been some. None in CA or TX. Oooh, my head hurts now. The very best of holidays for you and yours, Dee.

The short days, lack of sunshine, are the hardest part of winter for me. I’m very happy to see the solstice begin to give us a little more light.

Dee, I hope you are enjoying a wonderful holiday season. Merry Christmas to you and your family and a blessed New Year.

You too, Marnie. For me, it’s February. A complete lack of light and long day with not holiday (other than Valentine’s Day) to break up the month.~~Dee

The sun is finally shining and the temperatures are warming up! Yippee…I love the idea of a snowy Christmas…but if we can’t have that, then give me a warm sunny day! What a marvelous rendition of Emmanuel! Happiest of holidays, Dee, Blessings to you and your family. gail
