Oh, how I love this piece you've written! The quiet observation it renders about the tradition of Christmas that raises sore questions. It's something you read and probably have a quiet reflection behind closed doors.

It gets even more awesome to read that you balanced your thoughts out by pointing out the beautiful parts. The way it reminds us to share love and presents with one another, to be kind, to be keen about community. That's what I love about the season.

I'm glad that although you never had a formal Christmas celebration, your family found a way to make the eve of the season memorable. Can't sign off without saying I love your Christmas tree. The dazzling sight of it!❤️❤️❤️
