The fridge persistently tries not to explode, from all the goods inserted in it. Variety of cheeses, meat and olives, salads and fruits, salmon and prosciutto are singing “Christmas is here.. na na na nah … “.

The house feels cozy and warm like never before. This is one of the rarest occasions, when even the clumsiest member of the family decides to clean the room, for the new beginning.

Momma is making our favorite gingerbread cookies. When baking the dough, she prepares colorful glazes to decorate them. Regardless of us, the whole family gathers in the kitchen to paint the tiny pants, 3 dot buttons, small nose, eyes, and the sincere smile on them.

The scent of gingerbread cookies gets mixed with honey orange tea. The steam rises like a volcano, discrete parts of which overflow into each other, creating a passionate dance in the air.

Even though the leaving year wasn’t the easiest for humanity, we are still standing. While holding each others’ hands, our hearts are full of hope and vitality.

This is one more reason to start once again, try harder. May all the pain and sorrow stay in yesterday, and 2021 be a year of achievements, connections and good relationships. Tons of smiles and hugs to You!

Happy New Year. ❤
