While most of us have probably decked the halls for Christmas by now, there’s always a few last-minute preparations. Perchance—wrapping presents, baking, and/or grocery shopping for the holiday dinner.

Picture-perfect as I like Christmas to be, rude awakenings throughout the passing years have shown me what’s more important than ambience and fanfare:

Appreciation of my family because life is a tightrope walk and tomorrows with them aren’t guaranteed.

Giving selflessly to those who depend on me for their well-being.

Taking care of myself and hanging tough to stay independent.

Enjoying the simple pleasures of life to fortify me against those times when things seem to be falling apart.

On the home front, in my capacity as a writer, I’ve finished drafting chapter 24 (1590 words) of my Contemporary work in progress. Rounding the corner to Christmas on the 25th, I’ve begun drafting chapter 25 (379 words thus far).

*May each of us enjoy a Christmas made all the merrier with long-lasting peace and prosperity.

My sincere appreciation to you for reading this far.
