There are so many ways of thinking about the holidays. They can be a time of distraction, or materialism, of shopping and gifting and if we are not mindful, we will get ourselves sideways and miss the opportunity to make them a special time. With a bit of effort, we can make it a time of year when we share, we take care of, we donate, we reflect, we appreciate, and we make time for all of the special people in our lives. The more we do and take care the better the season. And holiday spirit can be contagious – we do good for each other and we see it reflected again and again with others. Here’s to a great holiday season and the role that we play in making it so

Loving life during the holiday season
