Merry Christmas, 2024

It is that time of year when we are engrossed in the holiday season. We are busy making lists, buying and wrapping presents, baking cookies; as well as a host of other Christmas preparations. It could be we are entertaining, as well. Most of us have our hands full while diligently trying to make memories that will last a lifetime.

All sorts of activities with family and friends are occurring. Sometimes our calendars are full of functions and making merry! For many it can also be a stressful time of the year. Deciding on just the right gift to please everyone we deeply care about is challenging. Mailing greetings adds to the pressure. Additionally, preparing our homes by decorating can be taxing.

We must remember to stop and enjoy this beautiful time of the year. All the wonder of the season and what Christmas signifies. Take a moment and remember the important things in life: family, friends, good health, and most importantly love. It is truly a gift to wake up each morning and seize the day, for each one is sacred.

Remember all those who do not share this privilege. Be thankful for each breath you take. Appreciate the time you are so fortunate to share with those you hold dear. Continue to pass down family traditions, while making new memories. These are the days we will remember fondly.

As I have grown older, Christmas seems to come around faster. Sometimes it feels impossible to create that childlike wonder of the season. We must try to capture the feelings of peace and good tidings. This time of year should be celebrated with a happy heart.

My wish for all my readers is to enjoy a very Merry Christmas. As we enter 2025, goodwill should be at the center of our lives.

Christmas blessings,
