The holiday season is filled with colors, tastes, smells, and sounds that never fail to bring about feelings of nostalgia. When this special time of year comes around, the signs are everywhere. From the addition of Christmas lattes on the Starbucks menu to strands of lights strewn across front yards and houses across the country; it would be impossible to neglect to realize what’s going on. People always seem a little bit nicer and warmer on a personal level to me….
The idea of gift giving helps people be a little less selfish, and reminds them to give and think of others.
The food, toy, and clothes drives in stores and establishments help people to be reminded of how important charity is.
Many impoverished families are temporarily relieved during this season because of other peoples generosity and obligation to help others.
Human relationships are molded and reinforced.
Family values are appreciated and acknowledged.
People show spirit that would otherwise never have a chance to be shown.
The holiday season is my favorite part of the year… and for good reasons. I’m looking forward to the traditions and excitement of what this time of year brings!

It's my favorite time of the year, too. This year, with the economic crisis hitting hard, my family members are really suffering, and I wish I had a way to alleviate all the difficult and complicated hardships that my siblings and paretns face. But we are such a close family that just being there for each other is the real magic. Christmas may not have as many presents this year, but there will be an abundance of love and laughter, and that's truly what matters! Happy Holidays!
