The holidays are a time to remember and celebrate

 Over this month, I will be focusing on my remembrances of Christmas, and I hope you enjoy the journey. This year, with all the chaos around us, it appears to me that we need Xmas or at least the spirit of Xmas sooner not later. 

Outdoor Xmas lights in my community were wrapping mayhem and tangled tinsel, remind yourself that pondering life is as essential as untangling Christmas lights.

While the holidays might be all about jingle bells and gingerbread, we need to take time to remember those who won't be joining the party this year. In between sips of eggnog, appreciating the good stuff and giving a nod to personal growth, take a breath and remember the good times and the people who cannot join us.

So, as we wrestle with the wrapping paper and try not to burn the yule log, take a moment to reflect on the year's triumphs, fiascos, and questionable fashion choices. Let us look on the positive, it is not just about surviving the economic and social chaos it is about enjoying the holiday chaos; it's about conquering it with a reflective grin and maybe a dash of glitter thrown in to help Santa find your home.
