On New Year’s Eve, an old Irish tradition is to open your door at midnight and let the Old Year out and the New Year in. Maybe we should consider adding all doors, windows, and garage doors this year. We’re all hoping and praying that 2021 will be peaceful and healthier for us all. None of us are the same today as we were a year ago, the pandemic and all of its repercussions has made permanent changes in how we feel and react, and I think it’s helped us all re-prioritize our lives and the relationships we share with our families and loved ones. I pray only the positive aspects of living through this will linger on.

This year is nearly on the books and what was normal last year, isn’t and may never be again. We have all changed and we are not the same as we were this time last year. I for one have lost a very dear friend and I mourn her passing daily. We have all learned to treasure our family and loved ones in a new and different way. We are learning to cherish those in our lives and take nothing for granted. Christmas is about re-birth and beginning anew. Please celebrate the coming of the Christ Child and the promises and hope He gives us all. Merry Christmas, My Friends!
