I was just thinking how crazily emotional Christmas makes me. My GC are too old or young for nativity plays now or I would be in bits, but just the story of a kindness on the radio, a Christmas film, all the activities at the Cathedral, a favourite carol coming on, and I am welling up several times a day. I do genuinely feel peace and goodwill to all men (and women or however you identify yourself!)
I do get carried away, many years ago I was driving back through a snowstorm from midnight mass on my own and saw this smallish blonde figure struggling through the blizzard. I pulled over ahead of her to offer her a lift home, and when 'she' approached it was a rather unkempt man with a beard! I had done it now, so I drove him home, but I guess I was taking a bit of a risk!
