That time of year


This is the time of year when many of us roll out things that give us warm fuzzy feelings. Or a seasonal goodie. And, of course, as Tevya sings in “Fiddler on the Roof,” there’s Tradition.

I realized as I bought a supply of candy canes recently that these are one of the treats that brighten this time of year for me. It’s a cheap thrill, probably started as I snatched them off a Christmas tree.

Eggnog lattes are another seasonal treat. And I like to acknowledge Solstice, the first day of winter, because it marks the day when the sun will soon begin its return to longer days.

What about you? Is there something you really love at this time of year? Do you celebrate Christmas? Hanukkah? Some other holiday?
