I want to tell you how much it means to me to be able to spend time with you and our family of friends each year at Christmas. Coming to your place after Christmas has truly become a special holiday tradition to me. With divorce and blended families and moving around a lot, such traditions are few and far between. The past couple of years it has also been a welcome respite from me trying to behave around Justin’s family! I have so many expectations around Christmas. *Now* is when I will feel like a family, happy and loved and secure. But it always falls short and even though Justin’s family has welcomed me most kindly and warmly, it always feels a little sad that I don’t have my own family to be with, or my own traditions to uphold. But then I get to go to your house and I feel such satisfaction. I don’t even have to talk to anybody. I just like to look around at everybody in the room and think about how much they all mean to me and I feel happy and at peace. Thanks again.

That’s where Christmas lives for me. That’s the feeling of home. Thank you beautiful Wilsons!
