Every Christmas Eve, we gather in Old Town, a ritual that’s been a part of my life since I was a kid. It’s a shift from the last couple of years when we’d share a holiday meal; now, we stroll around the plaza, taking in the festive lights. For my postcard dated 12/24/23, I’m using an image in black and white from a window on Marble Ave, just a block away from the plaza’s cheerful glow.
