That gift is the best gift you can have, yes it is.
I have decorated my home, my mother likes it, the tree, the balcony with lights... a few things... table centrepieces and the ornament on the door. But the other day on a walk I saw in the main square a grinch and I said... how cool... in contrast there was a Father Christmas hugging children... and the grinch alone... and I thought again it's great!Me estare volviendo grinch?
With the time a lot of things have been lost... Christmas is a commerce, to buy and to buy, it is... There will be no presents in my house either, but good food, homemade, that we like, enjoy with the family, watch series or movies and enjoy. As you mention, look forward to next year with lots of energy!
Sharing food with people we value and spending time to connect us what it's all about.
Sorry, my replies are not as long as yours, I just don't have the time you have available to write lengthy replies. Sorry.
Don't worry, I just wanted to share that experience I had. Good night to you, have a good rest and have a good start of the week.
