My fondest childhood memories of christmas have nothing to do with santa, presents, or carols. What I remember most is every christmas eve. Yeah... I got the opportunity to open one small gift, but long after everyone had gone to sleep I'd just sit and stare at the tree lights in the dark. It was feeling. I didn't have the words to articulate what that was as a child
but, adult me knows it was peace.
With age has come a deep appreciation for re-creating that solitude and peace that represents christmas for me. I challenge you to question what brings you peace this holiday season and encourage you to double down on that. Perhaps a certain.. companion can be your peace.. put a smile on your face, be your holiday cheer. Here's to thinking about you... happy holidays!
XOXO
