I took the Christmas lights down off of the house today and packed them away in their box. Soon they will be in the attic with all the other Christmas stuff. The reason this makes me feel sad is that after a month of brightly lit houses, January just seems so dark by comparison.
During November the nights get longer but then, almost overnight, the night is lit up by lights everywhere. The early darkness becomes something anticipated, a pleasure to experience. After January 1st though, nothing, just darkness. I just wish there were a better way to start off the new year.
Maybe we should all put up white and red lights for Valentines day!
