Christmas, 2024
And yet, here we are—there really was a morning when I opened my eyes and, still half-asleep among the pillows, murmured, “Merry Christmas..!” Our home was winking at us with Christmas lights, and that Christmas tree, reminiscent of an Andersen illustration, stood quietly as we sat down for dinner, and I kept stealing glances at it.
The more exhausting the journey to this moment was, the happier it makes me now, as I lie tangled up with the boys on the couch, contentedly closing my eyes and savoring the feeling of having truly arrived.
