December Dailies writing prompts. #16 Gifts

One of the main features of Christmas is Christmas gifts. But quite apart from the physical, wrapped up boxes and items, Christmas offers many gifts to me, including:

  • the gift of time, with time off work to recharge
  • the gift of rest (see above)
  • a time to celebrate the gift of family and a good excuse to see them
  • gifts of opportunities to sing and dance and celebrate with friends.

In 2020 – and, it looks possible – in 2021 – these opportunities were curtailed by the pandemic. So what time we had together was very special. In fact, I could live without the actual presents. I now appreciate the gift of being able to see family and friends.

Today’s prompt for writing, journalling, blogging, drawing, scrapbooking or art is:
