Happy hurray-we're-past-the-winter-solstice celebration! We had a lovely Christmas day here. C's family were visiting for a couple of days, so we cooked a delicious (meat-free) meal and exchanged some very nice presents. I don't know what we did differently from usual but it all *worked* somehow, being left with the feeling that "yes, this is how it's meant to be" rather than just a family obligation to get through. So I'm feeling very peaceful. I hope everyone else's holiday is going well, or as pleasantly as possible!
The only slight downside is that I participated in an online forum's "random acts of kindness" anonymous present exchange, but disappointingly didn't actually get anything in return. Which I know is not the correct attitude for gift-giving. But still, it seems like something got unbalanced somewhere.
