The Christmas Eves of Childhood

Nighttime on Still Waters

You are invited to join us for a very special episode as we celebrate Christmas Eve onboard the Erica and remember the Christmas Eves of our childhood.

Journal entry:

21st December, Thursday, Winter Solstice

“The year’s turning
And the longest night.

There’s a rough wind
And angry skies.

The polestar oak
Finally felled.

The ducks don’t seem
To notice."

Episode Information:

Can I take this opportunity to wish you a very MERRY CHRISTMAS and a happy NEW YEAR!
