Christmas was in the air yesterday. I noticed it as I drove to school in the early morning darkness. All sorts of cheery holiday lights were shining along the streets – lights on trees in yards, lights in windows of houses and stores, even lights along fences and along the roofs of houses. The day was still dark, but these strings of lights certainly put a glow on the morning as I drove along. When I arrived at school, the light in the eastern sky was increasing, but it was still dark enough to enjoy the Christmas lights in my classroom, so I quickly turned them on and went back outside to appreciate their merry glow. (See picture, above.) Perhaps, I thought, kids coming to school with sleepy faces would be roused somewhat by the look of my lights. After school, I graded some papers and then drove to some friends’ house for dinner. Again, I noticed the holiday lights along the way, and as my friends and I shared a wonderful meal, I often watched the spirited flames of the candles on the table swaying this way and that.
