December 21, 2011 "you find magic from your God, and we find magic everywhere"

Dar Williams' song The Christians and The Pagans is my favourite solstice song. It might be the only solstice-specific song that I know, but still. It's great. "I think magic's in the learning, 'Cause now when Christians sit with Pagans only pumpkin pies are burning." During this magical time, think about the light that is to come.
