“Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful.” — Norman Vincent Peale
It’s so true that Christmas softens the world. Prior to the holiday season, everything seems so rushed, then it slows down and we can really enjoy ourselves. It will be my first Christmas without my mom, who passed away earlier this year. I look forward to being with family and good friends for comfort.
Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas, and Happy Holidays!
