happy holidays :)
a brief wish
Today is Christmas Eve. I meant to prepare something for you yesterday, but I had my driving theory exam (which I passed!), so time ran short and my exhaustion won after a whole week of studying.
Christmas isn’t a huge holiday with my family. My mom and I cook desserts all afternoon on the 24th and try not to murder each other while being together in the kitchen for 2 hours. My dad, who supposedly hates the festivity and has already spent 3 months badmouthing the ridiculous amount of Christmas movies on the tv, has been putting lights and tiny decorations all over the house. Even bought a new tree.
If anything, besides food and awful telly, this is a time where I’m reminded of family, of all our shortcomings or faults but, most importantly, of how we still manage to love through and with them. We still manage to laugh and be angry and be thankful. It’s all possible.
So, with that quickie, I wish you a happy holiday season full of comfort and good food. It can be a pretty lonely, isolating and tough time for some, at least it has been for me before, riddled with tears and pent-up frustration and sadness. The comfort I can give you is that, like any other day, it ends. Treasure everything in any way you can.
Delicate will be back on friday :)
