Festival of Lights

These days of the year of darkness darkest When longest nights are here The sun sets early, rises late the moon is on the wane In 2020 COVID adds more pain Enter Chanukah, the Festival of Lights each new candle burning bright Piercing the darkness for eight nights

Lighted candles are so uplifting in the dark days we have but after the 21st we'll see a stretch in daylight, be glad to see the back of this year though. Enjoy your weekend Tom
