It is in the day to day that Christmas surfaces.
It is in unloading sacks and sacks of groceries,
saying a prayer of gratitude while realizing once again that I bought too much.
It is in the dirty dishes and the adage that
‘many hands make light work’
and in the reflecting I do when alone at that same sink.
It is in casual meals on the patio with family and little white lights twinkling
and Delia’s tamales.
And it is in finding, in the back of a cabinet, my mother’s
small green punch bowl and punch cups.
What a treat.
How do you enjoy the day to day during this wonderful season?
