Pace on Earth

Put a Little Love in Your Heart

I took some joy last week in reminding anyone who thought we were having a cold winter thus far that last week wasn't even, in fact, winter. Unofficially it started a few weeks ago when the snow came to stay and was in full swing when we went through a full on deep-freeze for a day or two last week. But officially, Winter starts today, the winter solstice and the shortest day of the year. On the downside the shortest day is not the coldest day - those days are yet to come. On the upside, however, they days are, from this point on, getting longer. It's a slow process with some dark (and fahking cold!) days to come but there is increasing light at the end of the tunnel.

I went and saw Christmas at the Playhouse on Saturday. The show was very good from beginning to end. It helped that Will was one of the baritones in the choir but I don't think my family bias skewed my opinion much; it was very entertaining. They ended the show with a song I wouldn't have associated with Christmas until I remembered Bill Murray's Scrooged. It's a pretty timeless Christmas message so that works for me. And it's light as can be so that works pretty well for the shortest and darkest day of the year.

Pace out.
