It's the last day of the year, and the last day of December. Around our house it feels extra celebratory because it's K.J.'s birthday eve. This month we lit a numbered candle every night and read a Christmasy story as we counted down the days until Christmas. The first two weeks of December were spent in semi-lockdown, but we were able to abandon filling out forms to leave the house on the 15th. That gave us a sense of relief that we still feel when we go out now.
Even though we couldn't do Christmas gatherings in the usual ways, we still had a really festive month. We've learned how to connect with others safely, we sang Christmas carols and enjoyed the Parisian Christmas lights, drank chocolat chaud, and FaceTimed with family. We watched Christmas movies all December long, and it was all in all very merry.
