There always seems to be that last minute scurrying about to get ready for Christmas and I am certainly in the midst of that. Shopping for food, wrapping presents, and getting small gifts ready to give to friends took most of my time today. And I have more to do tomorrow. Then the cooking begins. I invited the Goldstones over for dinner tomorrow night. We are having artichokes with a side of salmon. And before we eat, I have asked everyone to bring a poem to read. In looking up information about solstice traditions, I read about Yalda Night. It is an Iranian festival of the Northern Hemisphere’s winter solstice where people gather to read poetry while they eat pomegranates and nuts. Not sure the boys will go for the poetry or the pomegranates or the nuts, but we’ll give it a try.
