As 2020 comes to a close, this year’s holiday celebrations are more welcome than ever. It’s likely all our fêtes will be decidedly paired down affairs from years past. That however is a very small price to pay to ensure everyone’s safety and good health. And perhaps, it’s an opportunity to reflect on the true meaning of the holidays; which often gets lost in the pressure of consumerism, along with all the obligations, and all the pressures associated with this season.
While we will miss not being able to celebrate with everyone at the table, we are hoping that it will give us poise; time to focus on those by our side, as well as those who are not. That it will actually resurrect the original spirit of the season. I think that’s more than a silver lining to this difficult time – it’s actually a nicely gilded gold frame.
Matthew and I will take a gap year from our usual extended family dinners and parties; happily knowing that everyone’s health and well being is a priority. In doing so, we will focus on how important our family and friends are to us; not to mention our sense of community, and the collective spirit. Absence does indeed make the heart grow fonder.
The Annus Corona will hopefully soon be behind us. Things will begin to return to normal. And hopefully this year’s holiday voids will strengthen the true meaning of the Season.
On that note, we wish everyone a safe, healthy and very Happy Holiday Season, and all the best for the New Year.
