We're nice and warm and it's the day after Christmas. Our holidays with parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews were steeped in tradition. A tradition I have been blessed with many times over.
I've been thinking about something I heard my mother telling my brother. She was feeling really sad that she did not have the time to put thought and time into her gift buying this year. That resonated with me and I, like my mother, felt the same way.
While I am joyous, thankful, and blessed with the presence of family and the memories of Christmas past, if I'm not careful, I can get caught a little longer than I should in the sadness that accompanies the season of celebrating Christ and the sadness of saying good-by to family for another year.
Thank you everyone! I love you all.
