Dear Readers,

Tis the season to stand in long lines and count to ten before losing patience
To purchase overpriced airlines tickets, but it worth the smiles, kisses, and hugs
To get tipsy on purpose
To be the receiver and not the giver
To forgive grudges
To overspend, overeat, bake cookies, trim the tree, and watch Charlie Brown Christmas
Tis the season for the Nutcracker and listening to Nat King Cole sing classic Christmas songs
To watch sappy Christmas movies and take part in ugly sweater contest
To reminisce about Christmas past, present and anticipate the future
Tis the season to share with people who are less fortunate
To gather from near and far, to worship, to laugh at family photos and to make new memories, and passed down recipes
To make a snowman and snow angels, To in from the cold for hot chocolate
Tis the season to believe in miracles
To slow down and reflect because
You’ve made it through another year even if it by the hem of a string
Tis the season to be grateful
