On this Christmas Day 2024, we send our warmest wishes to all who find solace and joy in the Brontë sisters' timeless works. As winter wraps its cold arms around us, we are reminded of Emily Brontë's profound understanding of how a warm hearth can be the center of our world. Today, wherever you are, we hope you have found your own cherished spot - perhaps with a Brontë novel in hand, or simply surrounded by those you hold dear.
In these short, dark days of December, Emily's words ring particularly true, speaking of that universal longing for home and warmth amidst the winter's chill:
There is a spot, ‘mid barren hills,
Where winter howls, and driving rain;
But, if the dreary tempest chills,
There is a light that warms again.
The house is old, the trees are bare,
Moonless above bends twilight’s dome;
But what on earth is half so dear–
So longed for–as the hearth of home?
