Winter Reading..... Light

On a freezing winter day.......you can meet Snow White or The Little Match Girl on your way. I wonder what is much closer to your heart. It was freezing and heavy snow was falling. People walking by, were passing her indifferently. Unfortunately nobody needed matches. In the evening she closed her eyes for a while, and when she opened them again, she saw a huge fireplace with a fire burning cheerfully. The girl looked up to the starlit skies with more wishes......for a moment they were fulfilled. 

If you are looking for some warm and light why not to start with legends and folklore of the Northern Lights. The aurora borealis or northern lights are a phenomenon that is not completely understood. You can see this phenomenon either on Spitsbergen or Alaska. The Polar night starts from November until February. The summer with constant daylight commence from late April until August.

The aurora gets its name from the Roman goddess of dawn. One legend describes the lights as flaming torches carried by travellers to the afterlife.
What is special about them is their beauty and different visual patterns.
I wander what will you do in Christmas time celebrate or read? Perhaps both?
