The holidays are my favorite time of year for many reasons. Each December, I take time to reflect and share my experiences—from the traditions of my childhood, to the ones I created for my own children, and finally to what the holidays look like now, after coming out, a career change, a divorce, and the search for what comes next.
These posts are intentionally presented in reverse order. Parts I and II of the three-part series are live, along with companion essays that dig a little deeper—into the music, movies, and moments that tie it all together.
I hope you enjoy reading them. If you’re inclined, I’d love to hear your own favorite memories and holiday traditions in the comments.
Merry Christmas!
