With this lovely picture of Christmas in Alsace, I would like to share the love and warmth of this beautiful season with all of you. This time of year has so much significance to so many on so many levels. The Solstice which brings a promise of the light to come; the Christmas tree and the greens that we bring into the house to have the aliveness of the plants with us in the darkest time of the year; the lights, the gifts, the joy of children, the familiar music, all raises the vibration of mankind and reminds us of a higher way of goodness and beauty. May that love be with us all and guide our thoughts and actions in the coming year and beyond. *Meilleurs voeux.

(*I know a lot of folks have trouble pronouncing this expression which means “best wishes”. I will teach how to say it in the first of my new video series called “Hard Words in French”)
