When Your Heart Can't Find Christmas

How the heck is it Christmas already? Apologies for the lack of mid-month musing. But hey, it’s happening now.

What do you do when your heart can’t find Christmas?

Christmas season ushers in happy thoughts of sugarplum fairies. Except this year, it seems to be in step with the phrase of the year— “unprecedented times.” Zoom celebrations and parties put on hold until next year while the same amount of alcohol and cookies are purchased.

Yes, the tree is trimmed, decorations adorn the house and provide a fleeting flit of happiness but that feeling is all too temporary. During this unprecedented time when everything is topsy-turvy, how can we find what makes Christmas feel like Christmas from afar?

Reach out to me. How did you fare this holiday season? Are you okay?

I really have Harry Connick Jr. and his impeccable holiday album to thank for this post.
