Conaway: Christmas time, different and the same every time
Dan Conaway
Dan Conaway was a freelance columnist with The Daily Memphian from 2018 to 2025.
“Whatever your faith, whether you believe this is a time of anticipation and arrival, or of reflection or celebration, or of renewal or recognition — or all of those — I believe it’s a time to look inside to places only you can visit, to look at the paths traveled and at those who’ve shared the journey then and now, and to know, truly know, you are not alone.”
