I too get hit hard by nostalgia at Christmas.
but between my physical and mental sx, i am in a nomansland this year.
if i could scoot Christmas over by a month this year i would.
i think perhaps my truest gift this Christmas might be to
try to be as innocuous as possible. i have been rambunctious (yes, while sick)....
rambunctious yelling-croaking can hardly be conducive to the wellbeing of others....
it's NO GOOD.
good luck and good thoughts too, to everyone who is dealing with their own crises at this time.
you know what... time to pray, that's what. no better time than Christmas to pray, if you think about it.
you will all be in mine.
Christmas Blessings to all.
