Dear Life, This season, I’ve quietly thought about the past holidays: childhood excitement and the belief in Santa Claus, decorating the tree and lighting up the house, going on drives to see decorations, the Radio City Rockettes Christmas Spectacular, storefronts and Rockefeller Center tree in NYC, making “homemade” gifts, baking cookies and cooking special meals, gathering with family and friends, going to “midnight mass” with my Catholic father and siblings, coming to Santa Fe in 1989 and experiencing the magic of Christmas here with farolitos and luminaries all along Canyon Road, the plaza downtown and adobe homes. Old traditions and new. Love and light.
Yours Truly, Pamela Rose
