And maybe we can tell a story to our children that does not feel like a huge lie anymore... Maybe our kids bring out the latent archaeologists in us that beg us to keep asking questions we stopped asking long ago. This new take on the poem hopefully gives us a version of the holiday season that can be celebrated by everyone. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe can't help but wonder, what thread took us here?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhy's there a man in a chimney, or flying reindeer?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhy jingle the bells, or follow the cheer\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo the land of the North with red mushrooms each year?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach December we see that we all can take part\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn revering the past, with our loved ones in sight. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe can join in together to mark this birthday \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBridging oceans and eons; in our own special ways. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLearn more at: twasthenightstory.com\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 26\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.25 x 11 x 8.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 04, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45581545767014,"sku":"9781962990011","price":42.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/o8fPp8Hr5k9781962990011.webp?v=1777686651","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/twas-the-night-before-solstice-a-story-about-the-natural-origins-of-western-holiday-traditions-hardcover","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
