Oddly enough this Christmas Eve and Chrismas Day have succeeded in making me feel the "holiday spirit." This year, friends have stopped by and dropped off simple gifts. and most of the cards and packages arrived. I am thankful for the slippers, the stealth mittens, the cake, the candles, the wine, the champagne, the bath bubbles, the cookies, the flowers, the phone calls, the text messages, the photos of gatherings and planetary conjunctions. I thank my neighbor for informing me of a great place to cross-country ski (have already gone twice). My older daughter and her boyfriend prepared a "performance" for Face Time in which their new masks (popular gift item this year, I wonder why) were all stacked on their faces, and they removed them simultaneously, until I could see their uncovered faces. It was really cute. I will see my younger daughter on Boxing Day. One more "gift" for which I am grateful. A peaceful holiday season to all and may they feel the magic of this end of the year!
