It's a couple of days after Christmas - a good quiet time for me this year.

One of the things I have planned for the coming year is to celebrate both Christian and Jewish festivals more as a way of entering into and remembering the story of my faith and my ancestors in the faith. I'm excited by it - and have just been enjoying looking at the different festivals and what they represent and all of that - it will be an interesting time of remembering and celebrating - and hopefully embracing more of the story ...
