Let me offer a thought. I think people are looking for innocence. Not the kind of innocence that implies freedom from guilt or offense; but the return to innocence, when the world felt safe for them. Much like the hobbits in The Lord of the Rings who want to return to the Shire where all well with their soul and nothing threatened or wounded.

I'm not saying this is a bad thing at all. Just something I've been mulling over.

What do you think people are really looking for during this season?
