Christmas, a wonderful time for the company of friends and kin. Holiday revelry, grand suppers, even a special breakfast - all organized for the purpose of celebrating with those we love. We clean the house, prepare special food, stock the bar and open our doors to those most special to us because it is "The Season." It is Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, the "holidays" or just a much needed couple of days off of work. What ever it is, it is a time to draw those near and dear to you into your homes and into your heart.
"Taste this, try that, you'll love this, sit here, look there, you've grown, how was your trip, how were the roads, did you sleep well, need another blanket, I made this just for you, have another drink, remember the time, she looks just like her grandmother, I love you too."
"What time's your flight, just a snack for the road, don't forget, tell them we send our love, drive carefully, did you look under the bed, print your boarding pass, don't forget your phone charger, we'll try to make it out before summer, safe travels, sure you can't stay one more day, you have a precious load, thank you, I love you too."
And then, it's over. Everyone goes back to their life, their job, their home - fortified by love and family and friendship. Perhaps a few pounds heavier and with some new "stuff" they don't really need, but fortified with love to see them through until next year.
I love you too.
