Hanukah and Christmas are bookends to December this year—with the first Hanukah candle lighting on the eve of December 2. As the solstice approaches, we all crave light and cozy warmth and hearty soup and home-baked anything. We need light to read of course, and what we read brings us light and warmth too. Find books for you and yours at Arugula books at the Providence Flea Holiday Market, Sunday, December 2, 10:00-4:00.
It is rather when
We gloriously forget ourselves, and plunge
Soul-forward, headlong, into a book’s profound,
Impassioned for its beauty and salt of truth–
‘Tis then we get the right good from a book.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
