Dear Community,
We are officially in full-on holiday mode. Ready or not.
The seasons and common sense say, “stay inside, hibernate, eat and drink for the sole purpose of getting fat.”
The spirit and community say, “sing and dance, join with beloveds to pray through the darkness and welcome back light.”
Your choice.
