"May your heart be filled with joy as bright as the Christmas lights around you." - Unknown
What do all the great winter holidays have in common? Light! Shining lights are a symbol of hope and healing across religions. Even Winter Solstice - the shortest period of daylight and the longest night – is celebrated with a fire or lights to symbolize the returning sun. Our cover photo features the perennial truck at Yeagers Floor Covering on Belvidere Road in Lopatcong Township, decked out with lights for the holiday season.
We hope this last Wanderings of the year brings you light and joy (along with suggestions of various things to see and do this holiday season)! We are grateful to our Explore Warren followers and wish all a cheery, healthy New Year. Happy Holidays, and Happy Wanderings!
