Impressionism / Emile Claus/ Zonnegloed

Last day of this week.  Still have to buy one present but Christmas is in the bag.  

Since L. passed, the family needs to decide what Christmas is about.  This is a transition year, with almost no prep or thought.  It has always been too much about the tree and the presents and santa. But now it is kinda sterile of anything except the vestiges of a failed tradition.

Still, one can’t build anything in the nineteen days we had to think about it.  I suppose this will take a couple of years to figure out.
