Light One Candle, The Magi
As we approach solstice, I think we can all relate to the idea of lighting a candle in the dark (well, here in the Northern Hemisphere anyway!). As Arlo Guthrie noted on a favorite album, Precious Friend, you can’t have a light without a dark to put it in. Though this song comes from the tradition of lighting the candles at Hannukah, it is a light that we all share.
One of my holiday traditions is to watch my DVD (started with casssette tape, added the CD, then the DVD) of the Peter Paul and Mary Holiday Concert. If my family is lucky, I do this when I am alone out in the house, because I belt out many of the songs as loud as my not-so-great voice can!
And another favorite from that concert–The Magi:
