32 Days of Christmas: Day 26
The reason for this series is finally here.
There is no mistletoe here though.
No snow falling softly onto our rooftops.
Only December heat and the familiar chaos of homecomings.
Christmas always finds a way to slow us down, in shared meals, in laughter that lingers longer than usual, in calls made to voices we miss and chairs left empty but remembered. Memories created that bring on more memories.
It is a quiet day of presence, and holding close what already belongs to us.
Merry Christmas!
