This is the season when people of all faiths and cultures are pushing back the darkness. We string bulbs, ignite bonfires, and light candles. And we sing. (Anita Diamant)
We love candles, especially at this time of year.
We lit a special candle for Divali in that very special little candle holder that was made by Little Tyke, oh, I meant My Buddy when he was three years old. He made it for Divali at Nursery School and gave it to Mum.
Last Thursday, we lit all eight candles on the menorah.
And today is the Fourth Advent Sunday before Christmas.
Happy Fourth Advent.
May’s comment: We love candles year round but especially at this time of year. Today is the Fourth Advent Sunday which means Christmas is almost here. I wish it wouldn’t come so quickly because what happens next? We’ll probably be in another lockdown till Spring. Maybe that’s appropriate for when Spring arrives, there’s renewal of life.
