Tonight is Yule. I was afraid I missed it. Tonight we will put out the Child who is, as far as I am concerned, Christ. And we should put out the evergreen too, and leave candles burning all night. We should light the menorahs and play the Christmas Yuletide music. What I need to do is embrace living in two worlds, keeping my foot in both worlds. As sure as I know that I resist and have little tolerance for Christianity, or even for te story of Jesus that surrounds it, I must admit that I believe in Christmas. I honor the Christ Child. I believe in this Christ Child. I am devoted to the Messianic Era. I am devoted to Yule, and the Child of Light, to the union of Heaven and Earth and peace on this earth and good will to men. I am not concerned with the facts, but with that which moves my heart.
