Another Covid Christmas… with Bagels and a Schmear

 Vaccinated supper tonite…. Live from NYC…


Well.. here we are once again… another Covid Christmas 🎄 folks nervously attending smaller gatherings…  swabbing…  testing…  hoping everyone is healthy…  watching the surge break over America like a tidal wave…  flights cancelled…  people stranded…  anxiety and frustration abounding 😳😩


Grateful that our family is vaccinated and boosted…  able to spend a few hours together enjoying a delicious Christmas brunch…  soon to be Great Grandma, 91 years, attending with her sweet aide…  feeling blessed 🥰


Light morning drizzle morphing into bright sunshine by mid afternoon… able to let in fresh air every so often…  lots of laughter…  a bit of Prosecco…  bagels…  whitefish salad…. smoked salmon…  cheeses… empanadas…  spinach cheddar quiche…  homemade spanish torta…  coffee ☕️ and tea 🫖 dessert…  assorted Xmas cookies…  and a candy cane shaped cherry cheesecake strudel 🎄


Amidst the surging pandemic… small gatherings of folks reminding us what truly matters…


And speaking of what truly matters…

Taking a moment to thank each and every one of you for your support… caring…  communication…  laughter…  warmth and love…

sharing your food…  your lives…  your hopes and dreams…  

making this time of loneliness fear and isolation so much more bearable…  Thank you so very much 💕😷

Hoping each of you had a blessed holiday…  closeness with loved ones in whatever form was possible… and hope for a brighter healthier future 🎁🎄🤶
