December 21, 2012 is finally here. I've been curious about this day for a long time. There has been so much talk about this date. I always viewed this day as a new beginning, a clean slate, a reset. I heard someone say once that instead of calling it December 21, 2012 we should rename it Day 1 Year 1. I like that idea, a fresh new start. Whatever this day means I am grateful that I get to live in these times, even with all the chaos, I feel these are exciting times. Maybe people of all times felt this way. Well I wish you a beautiful enchanting new beginning in this coming new year.
Happy Solstice,
Blessed Yule,
Merry Christmas,
Joyful Holidays!
Love,
Peace,
and
Magic,
Julie

Oh I love owls so much and yours is stunning! I wish you the happiest of New Year's!!

This date was so important to our ancient ancestors....they lived in simpler times and saw the turn of the seasons as the basis of their lives...which you probably already know lots about. I love your depiction? It shows the chill we expect and the wise old owl is a great character. Happy New Year, Julie!
