Celebrating winter solstice

12/13/2025

 
Happy Solstice!
I’ve written a much richer and more personal version of this piece over on my Substack publication, Letters from The Whiskey Porch.

You can read the full updated essay here, and join the conversation:
👉 Santa Lucia: A Celebration of Light for the Darkest Days

I’m keeping this page online to preserve your lovely comments from years past - they’re part of the story - but the new and expanded version now lives in its’ true home.

Thank you so much for following along, and for celebrating the beauty of midwinter with me.  I'm glad that you stopped by and I hope to see you over on Substack where you can see the whole story!

Peace & contentment,
~Miriam

I thorooughly enjoyed the lovely Santa Lucia poem and the vision of community it evokes. Timely, lovely, and impactful. Thanks for the news!
