Just catching up with your columns after the holiday events….
This is just lovely! You always write so well. But when family is the central focus, it is as if you drop nearly all barriers & your heart slobbers wonderfully all over the place. I hope your holidays were as delightful as you hoped! Have a great new year!
Just for reading this post, it’s been worth joining this platform. Thanks for letting us step in and take a glance. I’ve relished it from start to finish.
Kids making up songs… Come on, is there anything better?
Well, grandpa playing guitar for them. But we all already took that for granted, didn’t we?
Connie, you are amazing. This is almost better than "The Night Before Christmas". Maybe you should do "A Few Days After Christmas"...and..."the kids are still here..."filling our house with love and cheer". If you need a ghost writer, let me know. lol. It would be such fun!
I love to put up my Christmas Village every Christmas on the mantle and sometimes it makes it over to a counter near the TV and becomes the Country scene, near the village with a mirror for a skating pond and kids building snow men and skating. And sometimes it becomes a scene at a fishing village with boats in the canals, and a light house and a wind fence along the ocean that makes snow drifts. and sand dunes. I get so lost in my village and I actually feel like I'm unpacking my friends when I take them out of their boxes and put them wherever I feel they would fit in best, like at the local Pub, or the Tea and Crumpet shop, or the movie theater. Christmas is fun, especially when it reminds us of our Christmas's in our past when we learned to never grow up, like I am now.
Connie, your writing is a balm for my worried, fragile heart. Thank you for sharing a glimpse of your beautifully loving and resilient family. You helped me to remember that small moments and shared traditions are the threads that bind us through the generations. You give me hope for the future, both personally and as a nation.
I love your columns, wait for them. I have followed you since I lived in Oberlin and read the PD! Was there when you spoke at Commencement!!
If I unsubscribe to Substack, do I lose your column. Besides yours, there is nothing in Substack I want.

Wonderful!
Beautiful in all ways possible.
Oh my heavens I remember my mom yelling about NAFTA when it was passed. She’s gone now-far too soon-but memories like this make me smile.
Yes, thank you for the sharing. We feel the love in your household! Best wishes for the New Year, come what may.
Happy New Year! Thank you for sharing! 🎄👏🏻🎉❤️
