Christmas wish.

Even after all these years, I still have unflagging yearning for Christmas to be special.

And it pretty much always is, even if it's not the kind on a Hallmark card.

It's never the same twice, despite my siblings attempts to instil rituals, but it's always a day to share something.

I can only hope 5,000 miles from my family I can still feel loved and share some joy with the people I do spend the day with.

I told Liam the other night that I wanted to gain two families, not feel like I was having to spend less and less time with my own. I so want it to come true.
