A Season of Giving

Maybe it is because I am getting older, or maybe it is because I am learning to be content with what I have, but each year Christmas to me is more and more about giving. Yes, admittedly I am not the best at receiving, so this is rather convenient. Nevertheless, I see how excited the students get about wanting and anticipating "things." So today, on Christmas Eve, I want to challenge myself and anyone reading to think about the intangible things that can be given which are so much better and last longer than anything we can wrap and put under the tree.

That being said, I am off to spend some time with my family. My job every year is to make the yeast rolls, and so it just isn't Christmas without the smell of those rolls rising and baking. Yum! So I must be off.

May you all have a wonderful Christmas both giving and getting great things. May your New Year be full of happiness and success. Enjoy this time with your family and loved ones.

Merry Christmas!
