There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.

To my family and all my friends — “real” and cyber— have a wonderfully, joy-filled Christmas.

Thank you for the lovely (true) quote and Christmas wish.
I have really related to your seasonal posts over the last little whille, and as my big family and I get together tonight for appetizers/desserts and games, I’ll be focussed on the fun, laughter and memories we’re sharing/building, not on trying to make everything “perfect.” Thanks for the apropos remdinder!
Merry Christmas and best wishes for a wonderful New Year to you and yours,
