This is going to be an odd Christmas, no doubt about it. Instead of sugar plums and stockings stuffed with goodies and stacks of presents under the tree, a Time of Bounty, I am thinking of this as The Time of The Dwindling. Everything is diminishing-our money, the light of day, and even the hours that Papa works. But in my heart I know we Swifts are tough-hardened off like those seedlings. I just know that somehow, some way, this shall be Christmas.
