We didnt see anyone that day. We had no expectations. Everything was spontaneous. There wasnt a single moment of stress. We laughed like crazy all afternoon though I couldnt tell you what about. And there was definitely something in the air call it magic if you like because that was the happiest Christmas any of us could remember, which makes me think that perhaps, like luck, magic is something we can make for ourselves. It isnt something you can buy. It doesnt come as standard. And you dont need to plan, or to overspend, or to wrack your brains trying to come up with some extraordinary way to celebrate. Because sometimes its the little things that bring us the greatest pleasure.
