This slayed me. I totally relate to Gaga's yearning for people, a family, the crowding that seemed oppressive at the time but now seems like the way life should be. What a beautiful tribute, and a memory of all those innocent/oblivious Christmas specials. Thank you Elissa.

Oh boy, I don't think I've ever commented on one your beautiful pieces, Elissa -- but this one has me weeping -- from memory, sadness, longing, joy. Happy December.
