I&#8217;m already looking forward to starting fresh in 2021! What a year it&#8217;s been. Last year I made Thanksgiving dinner for 18+ people. This year we don&#8217;t have any plans, although S has requested sushi. And of course we have no plans for gathering with friends or family for Christmas or New Year&#8217;s Eve either. Madrid is clearly keeping Christmas celebrations low-key as well. I&#8217;ve been watching the decorations go up, but it all feels very melancholy.
