One of my favorite columnists, Al Martinez of the LA Times has coined a phrase in describing what happens to people caught during times of shared difficulties; We huddle together in bad times, he writes. The spirits snuggle.
I love the descriptive aptness of that phrase, the spirits snuggle. It conjures up images of sleeping puppies, all cuddly and tossed together in soft furry heaps of companionship and warmth. Sometimes, we all just need to feel one another's heart beat. A reminder of our shared humanity, that we reach out to each other with hope, comfort and kindness because without it, there is nothing.
I wish you all the joys of the season. I wish you love and laughter and a cherished memory or two to hold close in the flickering of the candlelight. Most of all I wish you peace, from the bottom of my heart. Happy holidays to you all. May your spirits snuggle.

Sorry for the delay in wishing you a happy nog or two or three I was too busy spirit snuggling. Somehow it feels so much more hollow than the actual cuddly lovin kind. :-( But, I suppose I'll take what I can get. :-D
Lovely image! I wish it all right back to you too gigi.
This "spirits snuggling" thing...does it mean snuggling with the Jager angels?
