Isolation Diary: One of the things I like about Christmas is the giving of gifts. Yes, it can cause some stress, sometimes a lot, but in choosing a gift I am actively thinking about the recipient, who they are, what they might like, what is going on in their life at the moment. I may fail in my choice, the recipient may think, ‘Humph, Ruth doesn’t know me at all’, but still a gift was given, a gift was received. A gift has no obligations attached. At minimum, it is an acknowledgement of connection. And that can be enough.
