Will you be home for the holidays? If not your home, maybe a family member or a friend’s. Being with family and celebrating together is just grand (a word my mother used often). Decorations capture the seasons emotions through the senses; sight, touch and smell. Bright colors, lights, textures and scents connect the spirit of the holidays. Baking favorite sweets for all to enjoy makes the season something magical.

As we come to the close of another year, let us look forward to the new year with excitement and gratitude. We all have much in which to be grateful. Share with those less fortunate and offer a smile or a hug to those who may not feel the excitement of the season. May all our clients, vendors and readers have a most memorable Christmas as we celebrate the birth of the baby Jesus.
