| Happy Holidays to You! |
Thank you for walking this ancient, wonder-filled path with me through 2025 — from ammonites to elasmosaurs to the deep stories held in stone.
As I snuggle in for the winter, I am thinking of all of you around the world. Each of you celebrating this season in your own way.
Some gathering for Christmas lights and carols, some honouring the birth of the Prophet Muhammad with reflection and generosity, while others of you kindle candles for Hanukkah, share feasts for Yule, observe Dhanu Sankranti, Dongzhi, Bodhi Day, or simply welcome the return of longer days with quiet gratitude.
Whether your traditions are rooted in Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Indigenous teachings, Buddhism, Pagan customs, or any of the many rich spiritual paths that shape our global community, this time of year carries a shared thread: connection, kindness, and hope for the year ahead.
Wherever you are in the world, I wish you the very best of the season — and a 2026 filled with adventure, connection, and delight. May your days be bright, your field gear dry, and your pockets full of unexpected treasures.
Merry Christmas, Joyeux Noël, Frohe Weihnachten, Feliz Navidad, Buon Natale, Kala Christougenna, 圣诞快乐, メリークリスマス, 메리 크리스마스, Feliz Natal, Veselé Vánoce, Hyvää Joulua, God Jul, С Рождеством, عيد ميلاد مجيد, Nadolig Llawen, Meri Kirihimete, Kilisimasi Fiefia, Mele Kalikimaka — from my heart and hearth to yours.
Wherever your journey takes you, may 2026 bring new horizons, bold discoveries, and soft moments of joy. Here’s to another year of stories written in stone — and shared with the beautiful community that makes this journey worthwhile. I appreciate each and every one of you so much!
With love & ancient wonder,
The Fossil Huntress
