This is all so lovely, your writing and Judy’s, that I am printing it out and placing it in my Christmas file. I want to be sure to read it again next year.

As a full-on, unapologetic Grinch/Scrooge (insert appropriate Christmas grump allusion — I think it’s PTSD from too much baby Jesus in my own Lutheran childhood, which was FULL of lovely scenes like the one your friend Judy remembers — funny how we process childhood so differently), I love that YOU love Christmas. I live vicariously through you. You and I have had many a chat (and many a laugh) about the tradition of holiday letters. We received one this year with the following closing: “The world is a mess, find some way to help AND care for yourselves!” Your back-breaking traditions do both. I’m lucky to be a recipient of your Christmas cheer. Thank you friend — I DID miss Snow Queen and Luminaria and dancing with Sophie (chocolate Santa!) this year. Sigh. xo.

You my dear, are vintage. And most definitely one of our family’s traditions. Joy to you this season- xoxoox

Hey Christa — Hope your holiday was fantastic! I have to admit that I don’t have a very interesting list: Love Actually; Charlie Brown Xmas; Frosty the Snowman; Rudolph; Santa Claus is Coming to Town; The Year Without a Santa Claus….. A couple lesser known movies we love: Pee Wee’s Christmas Playhouse (star studded cast!) and Annabelle’s Wish (goofy but sweet and a friend gave it to me when I had Annabelle….) Best to you and yours. xo Amy

Merry Christmas, Amy! Hope your day is delightful. You mentioned your “must -see movies” — I would love for you to list them. I am in need of some recommendations. I’ll start with the one you mentioned, The Family Stone. Peace to you & your family!
