jollification

Abstaining, for a moment, from the clamor of compulsive jollification, and instead leaning into the reality of human tragedy and of my own need and brokenness, allows my experience of glory at Christmastime to feel not only more emotionally sustainable but also more vivid, vital and cherished.

“People here need a good bout of jollification.”

“People here need a good bout of jollification.”

“People here need a good bout of jollification.”

By 6:15, I went down to the promenade and joined in the jollification.
