Christmas at my house in Kew wasn’t quiet or subdued — is isn’t going to be with a toddler and pomeranian.  And small creatures do bring the joy.  But with a member of the family not at home this year, she was sorely missed.  Hopefully 2021 will be a year of better things.

And I have to say that my street did an exceptional job with the decorations this year — sharing a bit of light in a metaphorically dark holiday this year.
