Actually these are not friends of mine, I don’t even know them. I overheard them talking on the phone with a third person and they were all very excited that the three of them would be together after a long separation in just a few days. I was on the patio taking a photo when they came up behind me chatting away - I was not trying to be nosy:) Or at least trying not to appear to be too engaged. Anyway as I left the shelter I saw their animated conversation and took this shot. It is a perfect reminder of one of the joys of Christmas is seeing or talking to people we value but see only occasionally.
