Holidays

Keeping a soft little record of the season.

This is where I gather my holidays. The quiet moments, the loud laughter, the food, the late night talks that only seem to happen when there are lights on the tree.

I write about how I celebrate with my family, the small traditions that repeat each year, the jokes that land a little too loudly, and my cousin who insists on dressing up as Santa Claus and taking his role very seriously.

Sometimes I reach for the little camera, not for perfect pictures but so future me has something to look back on while she reads all this.

A silver digital camera sits beside pink Christmas ornaments and warm tree lights.

Pink ornaments, warm lights and a camera ready. A holiday mood, not a family photograph.

Where the entries will live.

As I write about each holiday, I will tuck the entries into this space.

Some years might feel full and bright, some might feel quieter and a little blurry. All of it belongs here so I can watch the seasons of my life line up in one place.
