When I clicked on this old post from December 26, 2017, my heart could feel the old dread of my sweet Eliza leaving, a single girl heading back from Christmas break to her "home" in Atlanta. Six years have passed and today she is most happily married and living less than a mile from me. Which means I rejoice in the gifts of both her happy marriage and our proximity! I also rejoice in Winn Collier's reminder about Christmastide and the 12 days of joy still to come.

I've loved spending these past 12 Days of Joy in retrospect with you, and I look forward to the New Year with new posts, new notes, new newsletters. You are a gift to me, and every single day I am grateful.
