It was warm and cosy. It felt like being inside a well-insulated bird’s nest. The gifts were great, with a twinch of humor and practicality. And we will have an instant replay when another branch of the family arrives for the New Years weekend.
But my heart aches for those who don’t have family, money for gifts, who have domestic family issues, addiction issues, health issues, loneliness issues. I realize how lucky I am and acknowledge my wealth of goof fortune.
