Samhain is past and the Christmas Creep is well underway. I can't believe that the Yuletide decorations are already out in the stores, in some cases they have been out since last week. But that is our world that we live in.

This past Sabbat was about focusing on those who have passed on. And Yule is about focusing on the family that we have and those that are yet to come. For me those are the most important parts of my faith. Honor the dead and learn from them and raising the next generation as good stewards of what we give them.

This is why I put out the Steps to a Stronger and More Spiritual Pagan Family (see sidebar) and why I continue to do this blog. Well that and all the great comments and email I get from you the reader. As the header of this blog says, "Leading the Next Generation Forward through Faith".

So as we go forward from today let our focus be on the family. Be sure to check out my series over the past few weekends and in the weekends to come on spending time with your family.

And oh yeah comment below and let us know how your Samhain went.

Blessed Be!
