The holiday season is my favorite time of year. I love taking this opportunity to acknowledge all those that have had an impact in my life no matter how big or small. This is the perfect chance to show appreciate for the people who have touched your life and who mean so much to me.
I also feel that at this time of year, all of us need to focus on the reason why it is so special. Sure it is great to give and receive presents and to attend all those festive gatherings, but we need to keep our focus on the true meaning of the season. I take this time to add one of these special quotes in my Christmas cards.
- “May you have the gladness of Christmas which is hope; The spirit of Christmas which is peace; The heart of Christmas which is love.” By Ada V. Hendricks
- “What is Christmas? It is tenderness for the past, courage for the present, hope for the future. It is a fervent wish that every cup may overflow with blessings rich and eternal and that every path may lead to peace.” Agnes M. Pahro
- Sing hey! Sing hey! For Christmas Day; Twine, mistletoe and holly. For a friendship glows in winter snows, and so let’s all be jolly!” Author unknown
I know the last one is a little more lighthearted but sometimes it is the perfect fit.
