Is there anything more magical than bonfires, candles, fireworks…lights at night? What a fitting way to end this season! I confess that I’m…hmm…do I really want to confess?…well, a little GLAD that everyone I know ends Christmas at New Year’s or even on December 26th, because then I can quietly, intimately, dearly spend some time alone with Jesus during the last half of the Twelve Days, and rest. When there’s even one gift that has to be wrapped or shipped after December 25th, I just about collapse; I’ve learned to plan carefully against that. But you seem to have endless energy! Because of my habit of crashing after the 25th, it almost exhausts me to read this. But it’s lovely just the same.

Lanier,
I’ve basked in your Christmas-time posts. Your love of the season is beautiful. Your words of description are also beautiful.

Lanier, your Advent and Christmastide posts have been excellent. They have inspired me to make more of the season in my own small way. Long have I admired the faith and the aesthetic sensibility expressed on this site. I live across town from you–D__, to be precise. I am also a Christian, a homemaker, an Anglophile, a tea-drinker, a gardener, and a reader. I would love to correspond with you. Please e-mail me if you have the time to spare.

Hope you and Philip have a joyous Epiphany.
