I'm not quite sure why, but this year more than most I've been far more aware of those who have been facing the prospect of spending a first Christmas without various loved ones lost during the year. There are also those psyching themselves up to get through a day with those they'd rather not have to for a variety of reasons. Both I think are made far worse by the feeling that Christmas Day is somehow supposed to be magically beyond the ups and downs of everyday life, and as a result it is often a disappointment as unrealistic expectations are hard to meet.
I hope everyone manages to get through okay, and if not perfect that your day is 'good enough'. As they say around here, kia kaha, have strength. After all, tomorrow is another day...
