Happy Holidays

I like the plural in this phrase, because there is so much that is being celebrated this time of year.  We just passed the winter solstice, and in our household also celebrated the marriage of a family friend's daughter.  It is always nice to have a big party to take one's mind off the shortening days, and we had two, which was twice as good. 
The other is that around the holidays there is a lot of good will towards your fellow man.  Not uniformly true, because in the airports I was in today, I heard some decidedly uncharitable descriptions of people, largely based on race, creed, or national origin.  I am pretty sure that someone nearby moved seats because what we were saying about inclusion in general was making her uncomfortable.
But at work there is an aura of being thankful for what we do for each other rather than harping on what sets our teeth on edge. 
As a health care worker, I am caring for people who cannot be home with their friends and families celebrating, and as a cancer survivor, I have also bee that patient, so enjoy being part of making that less awful too.  So wishing you and yours the very best, and soon we will be ringing in the new year.
