It’s the most wonderful time of the year. We decorate our houses and turn our attention to reaching out and loving others. Charities thrive, retailers depend on it and for most of us we get to feel connected with our universe of friends for a short glimpse of time.
Some of us have shopped all year long and enjoy the month without skipping a beat. For others, it is a bit stressful with the outpouring of cash that accompanies the extra parties, food drives, gift exchanges, Salvation Army buckets, and usual gift giving. It’s time to think back. I challenge you to think back on two or three of your favorite Christmas seasons of the past. What do you remember? Why were they memorable?
