THERE IS A REASON FOR THIS SEASON

Crystal Weber 12-13-12 

I am so excited for Christmas to almost be here!  It is easy to get caught up in all the things we “have to do” such as Christmas cards, baking goodies, parties, buying presents, and so on and on and on… until we come to a point where we are so busy we wake up and it’s January 1st and we missed the whole season because we were too busy to enjoy it.  Slow down and breathe in the sweet aromas of pine and cookies and gingerbread men.  Don’t get so wrapped up in your wrapping that you are distracted from the real reason for this season.  He is born this season and because of this we get to enjoy this life and all it has to offer – so please, go ENJOY it J
I  definitely urge you to go out and experience all the season has to offer, after all, who doesn’t enjoy that amazing peanut butter fudge or the look on your parent’s/kid’s/friend’s face when they open that perfect present? And the twinkling lights of Christmas decorations in the house and Santas waving in the mall can’t help but fill me with a warmth and joy.  Therefore, go and find out the best the season has to offer.
If you are one of those people that find the holidays difficult to endure, take heart – you are not alone, in fact the holidays are the darkest time of the year for many a person indeed. I know this doesn’t make it any easier for you but just know you are important, valid, relevant.  Try and find happiness where you can and know that with every period of darkness eventually there comes a light and yours is coming soon. 
So, I bid you adieu for now and am off to continue with my holiday preparations.  Keep in mind that time flies by even faster when you are having fun, so don’t forget to look up from your shopping lists and stringing of lights and appreciate your family and friends and live each and every day to the upmost celebration and live well and in love.
