The Christmas Spirit*
by Florindo Gallicchio

I don't belong here. I don't know if I belong anywhere. This is my Christmas.

What is Christmas? It is a loaf of bread to curb my hunger, maybe a cup of hot chocolate to warm my bones on this cold day, like so many days of my life. It is a smile, someone to talk to. Someone to care for me. I don't want your pity. I want your love. Love me as you would love yourself. Is that too much to ask for?

Great capture of this very sad situation! She looks so dejected, with her head covered, and bowed down. Your de-colorization of her also emphasizes her hopelessness and feeling that there's no place she belongs.
