Thank you, Moggy. Of course you may. I sent it with my few holiday cards this year, too.

Wonderful  A perfect tribute to the solstice.  

Thank you! And now the days get longer, slowly, slowly...

I’ll add my own wonderful to this tribute.

Well done, as ever, Parker. 

Thanks very much. The days lengthen ever so slowly, but surely. 

This sings in tune with the old songs of the Solstice.

True. Several ran through my head in writing this. I’m glad this brought them to your mind, too. 

Cheers!

Cheers in return! I raise my glass to you, and add a log to the fire. 

Don't know why I didn't comment on this at the time ...   I love the way the silvered chill gradually gives way to warmth, both physical and emotional.

Thank you for this very generous comment. Definitely wonderful to wake up to. An old solstice carol played in my head as I wrote it.
