Happy Holidays

I wanted to wish those of you who celebrate it a very lovely Christmas, and a wonderful weekend anyway even if you don’t. I know this can be a rough time of year even at the best of times; my love to anyone who’s struggling.
As for me, I feel especially ambivalent about the holiday season this year, but I’m also acutely aware that I have a tremendous amount to be grateful for. All the same, I found our good old friend Chaucer’s reminder this morning very useful:
This year I’m at my parents’ for the holidays, where I get to watch a battle fought since times immemorial: Kitten vs Christmas Tree. Guess who’s winning so far?
All the best to you, friends. Thank you so much for reading and being here.

Yt ys okaye to nat be happye on holidayes. Yt ys okaye to wayte for the sudden sparks of joye that come on a random daye. & thei will come.

ReplyDeleteA lovely picture, especially the reflected cat :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Christmas Ana, from a long time lurker.
Pretty picture! Have a wonderful Holiday, Ana!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas Ana to you and your family! I suspect neither kitten nor tree will win the battle :)
ReplyDeleteI have been watching a battle between my kitten and the Christmas tree for a couple weeks now... There are ornaments everywhere. lol Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteOur kitten is too grown up to interfere with the tree much.
ReplyDeleteWe gave our cats each a little catnip bag with a feather sticking out, kind of indeterminate shapes, and someone said "what are those?" Someone else replied "things with feathers," whereupon I had to say "hope." So now my grown-up kids have declared that cat toys are hope.
Merry Christmas, Ana! I hope 2017 brings many sparks of joy on random days for you
ReplyDeleteHope you had a happy holiday too and wish you a wonderful 2017! I think we all deserve it.
