A Paco
But the tree has no ornaments, the banister no greenery and no cards yet grace the mantel. Maybe they will all be as late as mine this year — mine which I just go around to ordering.
There's a term I remember from my musical days: "a paco." It means a little or gradually. It means we're not going to thunder into the next passage but tiptoe into it gingerly.
That's the way I feel about Christmas this year. The holiday will be so different, with family members unable to travel here. So best to approach it with caution, to lure it like a shy young bird. Little by little.
