It’s worth reminding everyone that there is a reason for today’s holiday.  In fact, note the derivation of the word “holiday”, as in “Holy Day”.  It has nothing to do with pretty lights and bland, generic wintry symbols.  It isn’t the Holiday Holiday, as in “Happy Holidays”.  Huh?  Happy what?

Do you, like most people, like the beautiful and festive lights this time of year?  Is it asking too much to remember why we have all those lights in the first place?  Here’s a hint if you need some help:

In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
The light shines in the darkness,
and the darkness has not overcome it.
