This year, after 13 years of writing a December letter (or so it seems), I’d like to re- mind each of you the importance of giving locally — whether it be something cre- ated, something sought, or something gleaned. The spirit of giving is something so
very unique to the human spirit, why cheapen it with a big box store and a formalde- hyde jar? Shop with your local mom and pop and stop to chat and be local for a mo- ment ... You’ll be glad you did! With that, I’d like to offer this favorite from ol’ Yusef:
Yule Blessings
Blessings to you from the Earth Mother. She is the Moon. She watches over all of us by. The light that she casts over the blessed earth. Walk her night lit path
And happiness you will find at every turn. Blessed Be!
Blessings to you from the Sky Father. He is the Sun. He holds us up And brings us strength.
Carry his sword
To cleave the evil from your path And you will be unmolested. Blessed Be!
Blessings to you from the Great Spirit.
It binds us all together: Man to womyn; beast to beast; all. We are it and it is us.
Blessed Be!

May you have a wonderful holiday! Enjoy all, as it is!
Cheers! Charles Seiverd
