The holidays can be challenging for many people. I think it’s because they are such a prominent benchmark for so many things (love, friendships, family, etc.) compared to last year. I haven’t written in a LONG while, but as I was at home, listening to holiday music, preparing for my family to visit on Christmas Day, and wrapping MY OWN Christmas presents, I had some time to reflect and gather my thoughts about the holidays, and I thought I’d share them with you.
