A Quiet Christmas.

 A new sensation for many.

We have become so used to Christmas madness. Be it shopping for presents, food or decorations. Everything leading up to the 24th meant one thing. A stressful and slightly chaotic time. That's what one does, that's the way it is and that's the only way we know...

Until this year. Corona and Christmas is the oxymoron none of us wanted but had to find a way to live with. For so many it is a concept not to be contemplated. A Christmas without loved ones. A Christmas alone. A quiet Christmas. Yet, that is exactly what many are having.

Christmas is the time of giving and appreciating the loved ones in our live and what better way to show this than to stay away. The pesky little bug has shown itself to be an ubiquitous party crasher, without any respect for its hosts. No, we won't give it the opportunity to invade our family's homes and anyway,  the mere fact that we  can't sit around our family's dining room table drinking eggnog and eating luxurious vittles doesn't mean that we don't think about them. In fact, not being there makes one give more thought than ever to our families and the festive traditions we took for granted.

Soon all will be back to a new normal and goodness me, next Christmas is going to be a fabulous one. For many of us this has been the first time in our lives that we have encountered such a momentous obstacle in our hitherto easy road in life and it can't help but make us more appreciative, grateful and glad of the live we have.

Merry Christmas to all...
