Many of the traditions we now associate with Christmas actually predated Christianity by centuries. Midwinter celebrations honoring the sun and other gods around the time of the winter solstice were practiced by diverse ancient peoples. Even the popular Christmas customs like Santa Claus, decorated trees, mistletoe, gift giving and gathering for feasts originated from older times. So today, whether you happen to be celebrating the Son of God or the Sun God, may your heart be filled with love and your spirit be lifted by joy. May you freely give your most valuable resource to everyone you meet…

Your inner light.
