Welcome to Kristenmas! Krirsten’s birthday was December 17. When her youngest was in his early years of school and had just learned about Hanukkah, he declared the 8 days between her birthday and Christmas to be Kristenmas. (She claims his goal was to get his own holiday with fried foods and presents.) In honor of Kristenmas we’re going to post a sign of hope every day, because–well, because we need it.
I am so grateful that gorgeous music is readily available. Pablo Casal’s Song of the Birds, performed by Yo-Yo Ma, brings me to tears. Enjoy.
