[On the morning of New Year's Day, a basket containing six fresh sugared raised yeast donuts was delivered to Max's door with a tag tied to the basket.]
[Max knew right away who they were from without needing a card. He helped her learn to make them after all. He felt a surge of pride when he bit into one and tasted it. She did a great job.
He didn't mean to, but he definitely ate all of them in under five minutes. It was just what he needed on a morning like this. Today being what it was...
The Kanien’kehá:ka aren't really big on Christmas, but New Years is when we celebrate what we’ve been given and honor the births and deaths of the land and people.
I'm not real big into my heritage but some things are pretty ingrained at this point in my life.

I think that's a great way to celebrate. Welcoming in a new year does seem like the best time to reflect and show gratitude.
