December is loud: carols, sales, group texts, old grief bumping into new plans. In all that noise, there are still small shocks of beauty and kindness that don’t fix anything but feel real. This service leans into those moments as a kind of practice: noticing what’s tender and good without looking away from what hurts. No forced cheer, just a bit more room for breath, honesty, and the kind of joy that doesn’t feel fake.
