Watch Moore's PBS Special about Christmas soul

In his recent Patheos column, "The Joys of Finding Christmas Within", Tom Rapsas quotes Thomas Moore's book The Soul of Christmas about being a mystic.

Rapsas writes,"Moore tells us 'We are all potential mystics' able to achieve a direct connection with a power greater than ourselves. And it doesn’t have to be that hard. 'Just stand still in the presence of a beautiful sunset and your mysticism will be activated.'"

Moore's book about Christmas and the winter solstice, The Soul of Christmas shares how this time of year is for everyone, not just for the followers of Jesus. His 1997 PBS special about Christmas with the late Scottish musician Johnny Cunningham, featuring traditional Celtic music may be watched now on YouTube:
