The familiar


I am back in the house I grew up in, halfway up Colonial Rd. Almost everything is familiar here: the smell of the kitchen, the placement of the tree, the characters in the old plaster creche.  

Almost everything. There is always a little something new, too. A piece of art on the wall, something my dad did last month, that is slightly different than what he has done before. A new neighbor. Changes, small and large, in the familiar people at the table. 

And all of it is good. Advent ends, Christmas comes, and there is a gentleness to it all.
