its that time of the year; when holidays all come together, one after another. it starts with moon gazing, leads to candle melting, finds it way to cities wrapped in christmas lights, and spectacularly ends with a waterford crystal ball wrapped in electric lights dropping to the floor of times square. what is most wonderful about this season is its ability to bring people together.
christmas carolers, children grouped around a dreidel, families sitting around tables adorned with meat-based delicacies representational of love and sacrifice - this part of the year is all about catharsis - unleashment, gratitude, and acceptance.
perhaps the most wonderful moment is when you step off a plane and the word "home" resonates through your whole mind, body, and soul. you feel the vibration of comfort overwhelm you and the tyranny of "homesickness" finally release you.
