Christmas memories are often conjured from two of the most powerful memory triggers: scent and sound. This Christmas medley, played simply and elegantly on a piano, contains several songs that may bring to mind memories of your own.
We didn’t think there would be another holiday season like 2020, but here we are a year later, and in even more uncertainty. Christmas used to be the time when we could, however briefly, return to some of the innocence and wonder of childhood. That feels like a very long time ago, and now I wonder whether we’ve passed that point, whether that will ever again be possible. In some serious and substantial ways, I’m fairly certain we won’t be going back there, and there’s something incredibly mournful about that.
And yet… and yet…
Christmas is nothing if not the time for a last-minute chance for redemption, that eleventh-hour Ebenezer Scrooge twist of fate that allows the year, however tumultuous, to quietly start over again. I haven’t quite given up completely. And that’s enough for now.
