‘Tis the Season we call Christmas--though the traditions we cherish and celebrate are much older than living memory, and evolved from many names. Twinkling lights are hung like humble stars to brighten the lengthening stretches of nighttime. The world grows colder, and nature falls into deep slumber. We turn inward, inside the comfort of our homes and into the company of one another. It is a time for giving, for gratitude, and for gathering, rooted in the need for survival through the darkest season of the year. Winter tales and campfire stories thrive, stirring the imagination and awakening our sense of wonder in the warm embrace of a firelit hearth.
