Merry Christmas

So as I get ready to go visit my mom in the nursing home, I'm trying to let go of expectations about how Christmas should be, without going into total Grinch Mode. I'm trying, guys:

Merry Christmas to those of you who celebrate. However happy or hard this year has been, I hope that today brings you moments of joy and peace.
