MONDAY, December 22 – SUNDAY, December 28
Hello!
Five days, and counting. I don’t know about you, but Christmas seems to have lost its lustre this year. There is just so much turmoil in the world. However, looking back over the years, we have some of the best of times in the worst of times.
My father died just days before Christmas 1998, yet the family rallied round and somehow being together and sharing stories about my wonderful father, made it one of the best Christmases ever. You could peel the love off the walls. More recently, after snow closed Heathrow airport and our flight from Arizona was moved to the 24th, it seemed as though all plans for the big family Christmas were off. It was left to my middle son (whose talents did not as a rule stretch to house management and hospitality) to get the turkey, the shopping and put up the decorations. You know what’s coming. He did a fantastic job, and on the big day we all mucked in. It was simply the best.
Saturn and Neptune preside over the celebrations this Christmas, which may explain why some of us are having a dream of a time and others facing a reality that is hard to bear. The thing to remember is that however wonderful other people’s Christmases may look, everybody is dealing with something. We are all going through this tunnel together.
