🎄 Holiday moments that fill the heart. ✨
I had the joy of spending time with my son Chris Cail and his childhood friend Michael Guo—now a dedicated general surgery medical resident. Watching these two grow from kids into thriving members of their communities is one of life’s greatest gifts.

Last night in London, and I had to take one more wander under the Christmas lights. ✨🎄. Cold hands, full heart, camera roll in trouble.

London, you’ve been magic. Until next time. ❤️

🎄✨ Here’s a clip from the Soul at Saint James Christmas choir concert I attended - “I Want to Wish You a Merry Christmas.” The harmonies, the joy, the full-body spirit of it — pure holiday medicine. If you need a minute of light, turn the sound up. ❤️🎶

It’s not just “holiday lights.” It’s London doing what London does best: mixing old-world charm with sparkle, turning a cold night into a walking fairytale. 🎄🕯️❄️

The Royal Albert Hall is a famous venue for Handel's Messiah, especially the "Hallelujah Chorus"

Hearing the Hallelujah Chorus from Handel’s Messiah at the Royal Albert Hall was profoundly moving. The choir’s opening entrance felt like a wave—uplifting, humbling, and unexpectedly emotional.

🎄🎶 Trafalgar Square for the tree-lighting ceremony, and honestly… London at its most magical. ✨

The Trafalgar Square Christmas tree is an annual gift from Oslo, Norway, to London. Norway has been sending a towering Norwegian spruce every year since 1947.
