Ho‘ohana Aloha

Earlier this week I had a conversation with a gentleman who is not a fan of Christmastime, not at all. He has assorted reasons, but he also has a wonderful attitude about them, for with each reason he’d share, he’d end with some version of, “Well, not to worry, I shall make the best of it.” Thus our conversation became one of exchanged pleasantries versus commiseration, with a funny story thrown in every so often for good measure (good tidings, as I teased him), and I did enjoy our talk-story even though I do not share most of his feelings.
