It's sweet to see how much joy they bring to you, and you to them. Christmas is all about love, and as long as there is love, it will always be perfect.
That's the wisdom that comes with age. We are programmed all our lives to worry what others think. That's why most people find it difficult to be their true selves.
It is a bit lonely. I feel so fake just holding my tongue and making "safe" small talk. I can talk more openly to people I meet in the grocery store than I can to family.
