by I love Christmas lights (big surprise) and these are my favorite kind, the Christmas lights of my youth, with these bigger bulbs.
I took this picture walking home from the new animated version of A Christmas Carol. I didn’t think it was a complete success, but I enjoyed it enough. It made me want to re-read the book though.
If you’re interested, there is a book by Joseph Cusumano, PhD, called Transforming Scrooge: Dickens’ Blueprint for a Spiritual Awakening. It’s pretty interesting. He looks at Dickens from the point of view of the work of John Bradshaw, John Selby’s work on kundalini, Raymond Moody on the near-death experiences, and Kenneth Ring.
By the way, I’m sorry you’re sick. Not sure how to spell it, but I’ve had a lot of success with an over-the-counter remedy that sounds sort of like Zicam. You just squirt it down your throat, and it does all the rest.
I love stories of redemption.
