We don’t really have any steady traditions on Christmas, seems like each one is relatively different from the one before. That being said we certainly love the feelings and memories that come up around Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s. Our bit of advice is to truly absorb and appreciate each Holiday, as well as each and every day of the year, even though it may not be what you have pictured in your head…they are moments in time that (with the right attitude) can be fantastic memories.
Life is such a short adventure, live the moments up. Ignore the crazy pill addicted aunt or the cousin that smells funny and won’t look you in the eye…it’ll be over before you know it. Focus on the laughter and the love, the family and the friends, the great wine and food. Don’t take it all so seriously.
So in honor of 8 lb. 6 oz. bearded baby Jesus (we’re joking people), we raise a glass to you and wish you the Merriest of Christmas’ and the happiest of Holidays…along with a super sincere thanks to all of you that watch and all that have become our family and friends, we really do appreciate it!! Cheers!!
