You’ll never take London out of the heart of the girl. I can imagine how torn you can be sometimes Teddy. Many of your memories are in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 and yet your new life is in Florence. Make the most of those wonderful visits. A beautiful festive write, very much enjoyed. 🎄🌹

Yes, my aunt just rang on Messenger. She went overseas for work in the early 70s and phoned in every Christmas. She has picked up the tradition again! Even a two-hour flight is quite a distance! Truly enjoyed this. 🙏🏻

Hear hear, my dear friend! And merry Christmas to you and to all who visit this comment section, my dear Teddy. Your humor is brilliant and I laughed hard. Santa had better not hang you on that line next to those unthinkables! I know what mall he works at! 🤣 Anywho, now my imagination is running wild! That, my dear friend, does not take much! Again, happy Christmas to you...and to you a good many cocktails! 🍸🍹

A beautiful poem dedicated to the memory of your wonderful mother. Yes at this time of year, as it approaches Christmas, I too feel that gap, that space that will never be filled. Written with so much love dear Teddy. Brought a tear you did. 🌹

Indeed much of my early Christmas memories where centred on Mum. But having said that, it was never complete without Dad. I know it doesn\'t sound as intimate as either Mother Christmas or Father Christmas but isn\'t it meant to be gender fluid as Parent Christmas? For both together make a whole. While each can be sufficient in their way, and some never have the other or even either parent, even. As your note states, we should be \"grateful for all we have.\" Thanks for sharing dear Teddy!
