Hey everyone.
Did you write “Dear Santa” letters as a child? Did you go see him at the mall? I had great childhood memories of Kris Kringle. And that Rudolof cartoon that played every single December. We had to plan our calendars back then before VHS.
But today, the world is much different for kids and for everyone. What do you wish for this holiday season? What is on your list? A boyfriend or girlfriend? A new job? Or how about a new outlook on life?
Whatever it is, 2024 is a new year, literally.
I hope that you find joy this holiday season. Find peace amidst any storm. Go hear the holiday songs at Master Chorale or the Gay Men’s Chorus of South Florida. Symphonies are ringing in the sounds of the holidays. And even Drag Queens are singing the songs of His birth.
Friends, Christmas (or insert your holiday name *here*) is upon us!
May happiness be abounding.¹
