It's solstice today. The sun just low-slanted through the front window in a way it does only at this time of year, and shone on the star at the top of the Christmas tree. I was too astonished to take a photo, so you'll have to see it with words.
Quite lovely, and Druidic.
I've posted my annual holiday story over on my longer blog:
