Sounds like just the thing this year. And part of the fun is knowing 2021 is just around the corner, too!
Buon’ Natale, sorella di fiore.

We usually put up our big tree two weeks before Christmas and take down on New Year’s Day watching the annual parade on TV. This year, with just the two of us, we settled for a tiny table tree, and few other decorations. Surprisingly, I don’t feel deprived at all. We too are looking forward to our Christmas Day zoom visit with our loved ones. A very joyful and peaceful Christmas to you and yours, Laura.

Lesley, your comment oozes joy and gratitude! Thank you so much for sharing your ‘story’ in a nutshell – yet vividly – so all who read it can celebrate with you and also begin our own personal Dance of Joy at being alive.
Happy Everything. I like that!

Oh yes! The more early holiday celebrations the better. The day after Thanksgiving I replaced my fall decorations by pulling out my Chanukah pillows, throws, menorahs (I collect them), blue and white plates and table coverings, dreidels, and collection of Chanukah bears. I decorated the house early. And tonight I lit the last candle and celebrated the miracle of Chanukah and the miracle that I’m still alive. Last year I was too sick to decorate and too weak to stand and light candles. I didn’t think I’d be around to light them in 2020. But, Wonder of wonders, Miracle of miracles I’m still here. And I’m so very thankful. So whatever we celebrate... let the celebrations begin! We all need a little joy! Here’s to a better 2021. Stay safe everyone. Happy Everything. ???

Laura, how true, Christmas is needed more than ever this year and I’m loving the lights around the area … for England it is rare to see so many houses decorated with various Xmas lights, some I’m sure are visible from outer space! ? We have the star and window lights up but no tree yet … enjoy yours and yes, lean into all the joy you can! Wise words indeed from Mary Oliver! Wishing you light and peace as the festive season begins. Hugs xx

“Joy to the World”…the carol and the 3-dog night song just seem appropriate about now!!!!
