An owl sitting regally on a holiday tree is a reminder of the grace to be found during quiet observation. Owl is a messenger for spirit. He sits calmly out of the way, yet ever so present, as a gentle prompt to reach out to our higher selves, where within, a higher truth is revealed. 
The owl is nocturnal with keen senses of sight and sound. It sees through the shadows of the night and hears the sounds in the silence; the illusion of the darkness. This teaches us to see past our own illusions and trust our intuition and perceptive senses.

Sending best wishes to you and yours for a joyous holiday season full of love and celebration. Lorraine
