Happy Christmas, Cool Yule, season’s greetings, and a good New Year to one and all!
I’m going to begin with a short poem by Oliver Herford, an early twentieth century American poet:
I heard a bird sing
In the dark of December
A magical thing
And sweet to remember
‘We are nearer to Spring
Than we were in September,’
I heard a bird sing
In the dark of December.Rowena Sommerville, Director
