I may be part of the only few out there but Thanksgiving and Christmas are my two most favorite holidays. They are a time of giving and being thankful. I’ll tell you one thing I am thankful for… the summer heat and humidity being GONE! Seriously, I can wait for the first day of winter. You know, when you open your door in the morning and realize that its sooooo cold you have to go back for a sweater. Brrrrrr, I love sweater weather and of course not excluding the hats, jackets, scarves, and boots. There is something about winter that makes life so much more pleasant. Drinking hot coco, eating smore’s and watching The Grinch all snuggled in blankets. I know, sounds really cheesy but it’s so true. As busy as we become, we get so lost in buying presents and preparing for celebrations that we forget to embrace the moments in between. The holidays, although bitter to some, gives me the opportunity to be grateful about having my husband and my family by my side. Even though some have passed and are no longer with me, I’m thankful that they impacted my life when they were here. I don’t know, maybe it is about the presents and turkey or maybe not. Whatever the case, I’m taking it day by day and giving thanks.
