Christmas doesn’t always look the same.
Sometimes it’s loud and sparkling, sometimes it’s slow, imperfect, and beautifully quiet. Merry, more or less is a small story about being together, about waiting, playing, getting bored, hugging, dreaming. About those in-between moments that children live fully without needing them to be perfect. And maybe, that’s where the real magic is.
