Tangled garlands,
a box of old toys, each with a story.
A little laughter, a little silence, tea or wine between things.

I love these moments,
when you don't have to do everything, but you can just be there.
No roles. No rush. No masks.

And you know, I'm interested in asking you,
would you like to decorate the Christmas tree with me? Tangled garlands,
arguing where to hang the star,
and creating your own little pre-New Year's chaos together.
