For the past five years, I’ve been making an annual “holiday card”, though these cards have had more of a focus on the winter solstice than any commercialized holiday. This year’s card is perhaps the most peculiar, but it comes at the end of a year that has been anything but normal. For me, it has a feeling of spending winter in the woods, perhaps nestled in a cabin somewhere reading by the flicker of candlelight. A combination of seasonal comforts combined with the feeling of isolation, something that most of us are all too familiar with these days. But on these dreariest of days, perhaps writing a letter and bringing a little light into the lives of those we love is exactly what we all need right now.
