"We live and breathe words ... "
Cassandra Clare
Christmas arrived dressed very differently and made an exit certainly not up to parr with the past. In the evening I sat with the Holiday cards I had saved just for this purpose. It seemed like more people sent cards this year in an attempt to at least announce maintaining their health.
One couple explained how they came to terms with not having a "Christmas" this year. Their adult children were not traveling and fellow friends were keeping the holiday simple. They accepted there wasn't any Christmas, so they were determined to create an entirely new day. It was time spent one on one celebrating the many joys they had experienced over the years.
It all comes down to choice. We could either sit in our darkness with depressing words or we we could create new ways of communication to brighten our space. Perhaps the newly defined day would never compare to previous holidays, but it still could shine with newly made memories. The choice was ours.
