In this seasonal treasure, Newbery Medalist Susan Cooper's beloved poem heralds the winter solstice, illuminated by Caldecott Honoree Carson Ellis's strikingly resonant illustrations. So the shortest day came,and the year died . . . As the sun set on the shortest day of the year, early people would gather to prepare for the long night ahead. They built fires and lit candles. They played music, bringing their own light to the darkness, while wondering if the sun would ever rise again. Written for a theatrical production that has become a ritual in itself, Susan Cooper's poem "The Shortest Day" captures the magic behind the returning of the light, the yearning for traditions that connect us with generations that have gone before -- and the hope for peace that we carry into the future. Richly illustrated by Carson Ellis with a universality that spans the centuries, this beautiful book evokes the joy and community found in the ongoing mystery of life when we celebrate light, thankfulness, and festivity at a time of rebirth. Welcome Yule

High quality polo
Size: 3X-Large, Color: Dark Grey
Can’t beat this price and quality. With mainstream polos is going for about $80. This is a steal for the same quality. Fits good. Price is nice. Keeps me dry the golf course.

Nice Stylish Midweight Jacket
Color: Dark Grey, Size: Medium, Color: Dark Grey, Size: Medium
I ordered this jacket because I wanted something with a little my style to wear out to dressy casual occasions. This jacket fits the bill. It looks nice in that it's got a casual laid back feel but at the same time you could wear over a collared shirt and it would look good.
I am 5'10" and about 165 lbs. I normally wear somewhere between a medium and large depending on the brand. I ordered a medium and it fit well. The arms and body were both the right length, not too short like some other jackets.
The reason I took 1 star off was because this is advertised as a winter puffer jacket and I wouldn't really call it that. It is a mid weight jacket that can get you by in southern winters but anything really cold I wouldn't wear this. Plus it's not a "puffer" jacket. It just has a minimal quilted feel to it but most of it is just a polyester glossy sweatshirt feel.

Maelreg Does It Again
Color: Dark Grey, Size: Medium
I just wrote a review for another Maelreg product. They're all good! lol 21st century fabrics are here to save us! ;) This one is also really well made. I love the fit and feel. It's perfect for those mild fall/spring days where an extra layer of windproof protection is just really handy. The arms aren't insulated, so it's great for active outdoor ventures. I use mine for jogging over a poly/blend wicking tee. It lives at the office where I sometimes need a stylish overcoat in the A/C freezing office. I bought a size M for my 5'10" 175 lb. frame and it fits perfectly. Just long enough to sit at the top of my glutes. The front of the jacket has a nice contrast/sheen that you don't see everywhere, it's a nice style addition. The poly blend fabric adds a nice degree of flex to the fit, it's comfortable under a heavy overcoat or over a light thermal layer. Super easy to launder on cold/low, and really low temp iron to rid it of those packaging wrinkles, and its easy care forever. Great product at a really nice price point, all things considered.
