personal winter holiday feelings
I shall personally mourn the passing of the longest night and begin my spiritual preparations for the coming of the Long Days. *sigh* fortunately for me, the coldest, most winter-intensive days are just about to arrive. November is my month of awakening; January and February are my time of strength, when my energy is greatest, my spirits are highest, and my perceptions clearest. still plenty of long nights and chilly weather left for me to enjoy. ^____^
