Today some friends and I treated ourselves to an elegant holiday lunch. Gary, Jeannie, Carol, and I went to a stylish old-world hotel on the shore for a few hours of sophisticated dining and genial conversation. The tables were covered with white tablecloths, bright winter sunshine was streaming in through the large windows, and the food was strictly high-class. We shared our companionship for almost two hours, a wonderful way to add to the high spirits of the holiday season.
Later, as dusk came on, my daughter Annie and I took a walk through downtown Mystic, which was ablaze with its seasonal finery. It was fun to chat and laugh while surrounded by trees, houses, and stores all lit for Christmas. Everywhere we looked there seemed to be a glow. The evening was more than chilly, but the warm spirit of the holidays kept us comfortable as we walked.
