for the holidays

Dear Home,

For me, it was love at first sight. You were

gorgeous: 10-foot ceilings, spanking-new

appliances, windows offering expansive views.

But your feelings weren’t so clear — until

Covid-19 hit.

Early into the shutdown, I’d sleep late, grab

coffee and log onto my computer moments before

my shift. Desolation began to envelop me.

You were having none of that.

First, your eastern windows bathed me in tangerine

and magenta sunrises, showing me the meditative

power of early morning solitude. Then, a nook

beckoned, inviting me to set up a home office.

Now, it’s my turn. I’m imagining a holiday season

blinged out with Christmas lights, some lofty

plants, a new rug. What do you say? It’s the least

I can do after the warmth and cheer you brought

me during these long months.

We’re in this together,

T BRAND
