Pandora is pounding out Christmas tunes, the computer database is open, cards are sprawled across the workspace and with pen in hand I address the envelopes that will soon be filled with sentiments of love and Christmas wishes.
Writing Christmas cards is a time of reflection and connection, something I do each year as the fire dances all around and music surrounds me.
With each card I write, I draw closer to a friend or loved one in hopes of keeping that special relationship alive and well amidst all the noise and distractions that come between us.
It all begins with that moment.
