'Happy' Christmas

I love Christmas in principle. When I say Christmas I don't mean the Christian festival - that sucks (a story for another time). I am referring to Christmastime. I love the possibilities that come with Yule; the turn from the darkness to the light, and the first signs of rebirth and Spring appearing. I feel a sense of hope that if Mother Earth can pull herself out of the frozen wastelands and turn her face to a new dawn and a fresh start, then so can I.
So at the moment I am feeling positive. I am turning away from my own handmade darkness (I'm not ignoring it though - ignore it and it has a funny way of screwing you when you least expect it)and looking for my new dawn. That first daffodil of Spring is my flame.
