May you enjoy a peaceful holiday season

The ancients watched the winter solstice
The sun shrinking from the Earth
The shortest day, the longest night and then the new year's birth.
But what the ancients couldn't know
Now clear to those with eyes to see
That summer here is winter there
And day to you is night to me.
It all depends on where you stand
Six billion different points of view
I'll honor yours if you honor mine
And then with grace we'll see this through.

Harold Ramis, quoted in The God Factor: Inside the Spiritual Lives of Public People, page 213
