Auspicious

This year Chanukah and Christmas start at the same time The night of December 24th Marks the beginning of the festivals This must mean something! Both holidays celebrate the power of light which is essential to human life Way back in time our ancestors learned to create fire and could then stay up at night reciting tales and dancing This was a true miracle and a true miracle and an important beginning for man;s future The stars must be auspicious this year When the two great festivals coincide The people must give up hate and take joy in the miracle of light

very informative, Matt. I didn't know this. My daughter is believing some hocus pocus theories this is the year when catastrophe will strike after the holidays. Geeez, I hope she is not right about that! I got your great little XMas pack. I have had no time even to go to post office but will try soon!! (to send chapbook)
