I pretty much love it that there is a season dedicated to being jolly. That kind of human earnestness is so charming to me. Grown men decorating bushes. Hardware store employees wearing red hats. It's all so unabashed. And it does feel merry and magical.
I've been thinking so much about the whole season and all of the delight, joy, magic as well as the stress, worry, pressure that gets muddled all up together. Here Natalie wrote so much of what I feel and I'm so glad to read everyone else's comments about how they navigate it all. Instead of repeating all that here, I thought I'd just invite you over there...if you haven't been there already...
