Brand new, no sign of damage or wear. Paperback . Summary : Do YOU know why Santa comes down a chimney? Or what red spotted psychedelic amanita mushrooms have to do with Christmas? What stories are you propagating every holiday season without knowing it? And is there any way to celebrate together, to make us all feel a common thread with all the other species, especially this time of year? We borrowed the cadence from the beloved holiday poem- one certainly written by someone else than the author who gets all the credit- and added our own twist based on research on how these old traditions have stood the test of time despite thousands of years of minimization. And the more you look, it starts to appear as if we are still singing along to a song, even though the lyrics were lost long ago. And maybe we can tell a story to our children that does not feel like a huge lie anymore... Maybe our kids bring out the latent archaeologists in us that beg us to keep asking questions we stopped asking long ago. Maybe there is something to these pretty little mushrooms, and other natural wonders, that make us all feel connected in ways beyond superficial extravagances of the season. We can’t help but wonder, what thread took us here? Why’s there a man in a chimney, or flying reindeer? Why jingle the bells, or follow the cheer To the land of the North with red mushrooms each year? Each December we see that we all can take part In revering the past, with our loved ones in sight. We can join in together to mark this birthday Bridging oceans and eons; in our own special ways.
