My Christmas Wish for Us All: ‘Have Courage for the Truth’

Everyone, no matter their faith, or even if they have no faith, experiences this time of year as a time of darkness. In the Jewish story of Hanukkah, the celebration is called the Festival of the Lights. The celebration is finding the light in this darkest time of the year. In the Christian tradition, the celebration is of the birth of Christ, the Light of the World, again coming in the darkest time of the year.
