Merry Christmas, quietly and completely
No pressure. Just presence.
🎄 Christmas Day Note:
There’s nothing you need to be today.
No sparkle to put on.
No family script to perform.
No extra version of yourself to summon.
Just you,
right now,
right here,
is already enough.
If you’re surrounded by joy—soak it in.
If you’re missing someone—let that love rise anyway.
If you’re alone—know that doesn’t mean unloved.
This is a holy day.
Not because of what’s on the table.
But because of who you’ve become just by choosing presence over performance.
From my heart to yours,
Merry Christmas.
Love,
Monica


Thank you, and Merry Christmas. I'm surrounded by plenty of love, from 4 cats and a wonderful husband, to long distance family engagement via texts, photos and videos of grandchildren in other states. It's nothing like our 1970s Christmas gatherings, but the love and fellowship are still there.
A very Merry Christmas, Monica, to you and yours!
