Happy Holidays from LOLA Arts!
Winter is officially here! Nature is quiet, snow blankets everything, and we seem to get stuck inside. The winter solstice approaches with the sun at its lowest, giving us one day out of the year with the least amount of sunlight. It's kind of a bummer. But, keeping with millennia of tradition, it is a time to celebrate the reemergence of the sun, marking the ascent out of darkness and into the light, symbolically moving from ignorance to illumination. Take time to reflect and connect with yourself and your loved ones. We here at LOLA Arts hope you have a wonderful holiday season filled with joy, love, and illumination!
