24th of December

This is a season governed by custom. So I like how Christmas Eve feels far more personal – we all have our own routines rather than feeling bound by tradition.
We took an evening walk around our local streets, enjoying the lights and displays. As much as I love the insularity of Christmas, of holing up away from the world, I think it is also good to feel part of something bigger and engage in that world a little.
It was wonderful to share a moment like this with loved ones. I know I am exceptionally lucky.
Christmas Eve just after dark, particularly if it falls at the weekend is unusual – lots of people around on foot, visiting, happy, chatty and very few cars moving. Had a lovely run this evening, just observing.

Something special in the air, isn’t there? A rare time when everyone seems happy and comfortable in themselves, something to savour…
