Morning Open Thread is a daily, copyrighted post, from a host of editors and guest writers. We support our community, invite and share ideas, and encourage thoughtful, respectful dialogue in an open forum.
I’ve come to think of this series as one where you come for the music and stay for the conversation—so feel free to leave a note, comment, picture, or tune. The diarist gets to sleep in, and can show up long after the post is published. So you know, it's a feature, not a bug.
Join us, please. How are things in your neck of the woods?

Singer and guitarist Rob Falsini wrote this Christmas song for his children a couple of years ago. He only sings it at Christmas time. This is in London.
The Florin Street Band has created an entire video. And quite lovely it is. The band is from London.
Get your morning cup of tea or coffee and join us. What is going on in your neck of the woods?
