Marian–
During this time of cold and darkness, I think lights feature prominently in many of our magic memories. The menorah, the christmas lights, we all long for the lights.

When I was small we lived near a big city. Every Christmas (in the 50s) the large department stores downtown would have animated displays in the windows. Santa’s workshop, elves, outdoor scenes. They would have beautiful creatures that moved, and lights, lights, lights. People bustling past with their packages, my mom buying secret presents, me staring at the window displays.
