I always remember with fondness how my mother used to prepare the house weeks before Christmas. Each time I hear those Christmas tunes I am nostalgic and long for more peaceful and joyful times - I haven't maintained the traditions as much - but it was a choice -

Thank you for sharing these thoughts - if I may - I see your posts are becoming more personal and therefore more heartfelt and it gives me comfort knowing it is not just me who experiences these things - thank you💙🌹
