​You'll Never Be Quite the Same

Welcoming the light

​                Jonathan and I finally brought Christmastime in today.
            I forget, even after 58 Christmases past, how transformational it can be to bring light into the home during this darkest time of year. What a grump I’ve been, for no clear reason. We went shopping; we put up wreaths and swags outside; we put up a tree inside, and festooned it with lights and memories. Stockings and other decorations came downstairs to take their holiday places. Jonathan put on a stunning new collection of Christmas music by Vocal Spectrum. 
            We got photos from all four kids today, enjoying themselves in myriad ways – Sam and Tess sent a video of Finn catching a cookie off his nose; Tessa and Chris went ice-skating; Nellie and Mike dressed Fiona in hilarious outfits; Anna and Robert sent pictures of their visit to their dancing niece in New York City. So many joyful ripples in the pond. Be merry, Robin. Welcome the light.
