Not a lot to say, Brandon, because I am no fan of xmas, in fact I find the self-indulgence, gluttony, waste, hypocrisy and accentuated feeling of less-than that afflicts so many disadvantaged, particularly children, too much to feel enchanted by this awful occasion.

However, leaving that aside, I do applaud your warm spirited offering and its recognition that, for some of us, materialism or gluttony is not on our agenda but a sense of worth and a little appreciation, well that's always appreciated.

Take care. Stay safe. My best wishes to all Medium writers, particularly those that struggle for recognition or a little acknowledgment. Whatever your feelings about this time of year, I will that all turns out as you would wish. ☮️
