The Holiday Spirit

The holidays are an amazing time of year that brings out the best in people! People have a cheerful spirit about them and it comes from seeing your neighbor string some outside lights to the stringing your own lights on your Christmas Tree. A simple pleasure of a decorated Christmas tree and seeing it lit up at night brings so much joy to all. And writing out Christmas cards to those perhaps you haven't talked to in years, but you send cards every year. Perhaps you are not as close as in the past, but they are in your thoughts and seeing their name brings back fond memories. And you know that when they receive your card, you will be in their thoughts and most likely they will have those same fond memories which brings a nice warm smile to their face. The holiday season is a wonderful time of year in which we should all be grateful for what we have and most importantly EXPRESS such gratitude. I just read a saying that to be grateful without expressing it, is like wrapping a present and not sending it. Very true!! Tis the season to express the gratitude and enjoy the simple pleasures.
