Do You See What I See?

Whether you celebrate this day or not, remember to enjoy the company of those around you.  On a cold December 24th evening in Wisconsin, I walked outside alone and watched my Grandmother and her Godchild from California sit and talk.....one last time together.  I didn't know it would be the last but I knew that it was a moment to cherish. 
It snowed and I wore my jacket looking through my parent's window trying to record every single moment....so that I wouldn't forget. So much chaos and planning for one day that on the eve, it's like a sigh of relief as we all can relax and recollect the past years adventures together(run on sentence intended to express our stress levels:)
So while this holiday is important for many in a religious manner; it's important to me because we all come together. Enjoy the company of one another.  Share special family and friend moments together. Take lots and lots of pictures together.  And never take anyone for granted.  My best wishes to you and your family for the rest of this year and beyond.
