Tis The Season

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
