The past week and a bit have gone by
In a flurry of activity,
A haze of warmth and family,
The companionship of eating together and watching movies
Together.
I have savoured each moment as I savoured the morsels we ate:
Love, joy, happiness.
We enclosed ourselves for a while in a capsule of family.
Shopping, walking in the snow, eating at a restaurant.
The bubble contained us and protected us
In our merriment
Of time spent together.
And now it is time to move our separate ways
As we work, go to school, follow our diverse daily routines.
And I carry within my heart the memory of this time;
A memory to look at when life gets too busy and I need a reminder
Of my family’s love and togetherness.

Hi,
Well said.

That is what the Christmas holidays are all about for me.
It sounds like you all had a lot of quality fun time together, Colline. Yes, memories are defintely made of such times of togetherness. Happy New Year to you.
It is for this reason that I love this time of year. Everyone is allowed to take time out – and I enjoy every moment of it.
Wishes for a happy new year to you as well.
Sounds like a perfect celebration to me.
Happy new year, Colline. 
Every year is different but just as good as the past years. A happy new year to you as well
Beautiful, moving , full of affection that inspires us to reflect and remember as well.
Thank you for your kind words.
Sounds like you have had a great Christmas Colline.
Loved it Leanne. I always do enjoy the time with my family.
