The really good stuff about the holiday season —
the traditions that bring friends together and override the stress of getting everything done,
were canceled this year.
I warded off an existential tug and
settled for a vintage aluminum tree, evenings spent with Jimmy Stewart and Charlie Brown,
and Christmas Eve zooms with family.
In the end, I embraced the simplicity of a pared down December, and am forever grateful
that even during a year unlike there was still something vivacious about the day.
I know I'm one of the lucky ones anchored by love and a sound structural foundation in life.
