Five days till Christmas and I don't know where my brother and I will spend it. The usual cousin who wrangles our schedules is just back from the Philippines. My brother cantors at several Masses between Christmas Eve and Day. That leaves us available for a short drive to another cousin's in Syosset, but he may be spending Christmas in Florida with his parents.
Anyway, the festive chaos is why I'm reposting a photo of my Christmas tree from years ago. My family may not get together, but we always are in spirit. Probably the biggest part of enjoying the holidays is letting yourself relax, put aside the outside world. If I can do that, I don't think I'll need to do it long. Just a moment to appreciate life is enough.
