Merry merry Christmas to all those who celebrate! And happy holidays!

From Wikipedia: Yaldā Night (Persian: shab-e yalda) or Chelleh Night (Persian: shab-e chelle) is an Iranian Northern Hemisphere's winter solstice festival celebrated on the longest and darkest night of the year. According to the calendar, this corresponds to the night of December 20/21 (±1) in the Gregorian calendar, and to the night between the last day of the ninth month (Azar) and the first day of the tenth month (Dey)of the Iranian civil calendar. The longest and darkest night of the year is a time when friends and family gather together to eat, drink and read poetry (especially Hafez) until well after midnight. Fruits and nuts are eaten and pomegranates and watermelons are particularly significant. The red color in these fruits symbolizes the crimson hues of dawn and glow of life. The poems of Divan-e Hafez, which can be found in the bookcases of most Iranian families, are read or recited on various occasions such as this festival and Nowruz. Shab-e Yalda was officially added to Iran's List of National Treasures in a special ceremony in 2008. . Music: “Desert” by: kayhan kalhor Instrument: Kamancheh

The little red riding hood won’t be in trouble this time! There won’t be any wolf to ruin her lovely snowy evening with her grandma!
I promise! 😉

Our love is a never sleep village, not at nights nor at days,
Flow and passion of life
does not stop here even for a jiffy...

Home is where the heart is!

This is the seventh letter in Persian language. It’s pronounced like “ch” in “Challenge”.

My city restores its dancing streets
Nowhere the life’s call is unanswered never
I’m listening voices from distance
From distance my voice is heard
I’m alive
My call is not unanswered
Your good heart is an answer to my call...
Ahmad Shamloo 🎶: Waltz of the Flowers by Tchaikovsky

And love, only love
It acquaints you with the warmth of an apple
And love, only love
Carried me to the width of sorrow of lives
It took me to the possibility of flight...
