The “Season of Lights” is a phrase used to describe the
month of December. The light frenzy takes off the day after Thanksgiving, and
continues through the first week of January.
The phrase even pleases the Atheist because it is neutral and does not
cross the boundary of “religion.” The phrase “Season of Lights” reflects how
our Christian friends decorate their homes with beautiful bright twinkling
lights.
I am Jewish and I celebrate the miracle that happened when
“light conquered darkness” and became Chanukah or Hanukkah. The holiday is not a religious holiday, but a
holiday about perseverance and believing in yourself and the miracles we have
inside of us. I believe, do you?
No matter how you celebrate the season, taste the flavors of
the season and try something different without political conviction, and have
fun.
I wish you all, a Happy Chanukah, a Merry Christmas, a Merry
Kwanzaa, and a Happy Winter Solstice.
