“We savor favorite foods, unpack childhood ornaments, replay nostalgic records. We hold our rituals close, but we hold our people even closer,” she writes. “Maybe that’s the sweetness I’m trying to put a name to. It’s the you and yours that make the holidays a season to behold.” On Drake coming back home for the holidays, Joanna shares, “I want to hear that life pouring in and out of every room and conversation. And I want Drake to feel as if the impression he’s made in our home remained even when he didn’t.”
