Getting Ready for Christmas

Christmas is such an exciting time of the year. The anticipation this year is tangible. Sophia is over-joyed with the thought of Christmas. She loves every aspect of it. She loved putting together her list for Santa. She loved decorating the tree. She has been making gifts for family and friends.


No doubt the Grinch was right when he said, "What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store. What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more." Seeing the joy that comes from the anticipation, taking time to celebrate as a family, making gifts from the heart and remembering that life is all about enjoying these moments is something you can't buy from a store and truly means so much more.
