This year’s Holiday Stroll had a very special guest, as Kira was unable to join. Come back here tomorrow to see who it is, and how we strolled the merry streets of Boston to celebrate the Christmas season. It was a welcome return to a happy tradition, and one of my favorite people in the world was there to join me.
Another holiday semi-tradition – the Boston Children’s Holiday Hour – will be taking place this weekend, as I haul my niece and nephew to that fine city by the sea for a gathering of some of my oldest and dearest friends. Having not seen most of these wonderful folks since before COVID, this will prove an interesting affair. Our lives have changed irrevocably during the past few years, and that has affected everything, and everyone. Most of their kids aren’t even kids anymore, soaring into their mid-to-upper teens, and skyrocketing beyond my height, so it will be quite a sight to see how we all fit into the small condo. If it can handle a party of fifty, as it once did in holiday times long ago, it can handle this crowd.
As for the holiday stroll about to be recapped tomorrow, it was a lovely, if slightly subdued, excursion – fitting for these delicate times. See you then, I hope… in the meantime, some Christmas music to set off a Friday right proper.
