I am not a holiday person. Never have been. My reasons are historically personal. I don't understand the merits and importance of "holiday" but then again it is not my holiday and I celebrate it with the people who claim it as theirs. I have many people that I love, many friends, for whom the holidays are a heavy time because of circumstance or absence. To them I want to say I love you and I will send my soul in proxy to be by your side as you sit down to eat. Should you pray, I will pray beside you. And as you miss, I too will miss.

Much love,
Hilesh
