Happy Holidays

It’s the season to be jolly! The air is crisp, chilly, frosty, and cold, which means that Winter and Christmas are almost upon us!

The children and I have been engaging in many fun festive events and activities, from baking delicious cookies and making colorful decorations to singing cheerful carols with the community and crafting handmade gifts. Each moment has been filled with laughter and joy, creating wonderful memories that will last a lifetime.

Last weekend was truly a delightful experience for the children and me. Along with a wonderful group of friends and neighbors, we ventured out to enjoy our town’s much-anticipated Christmas Tree lighting ceremony. The atmosphere was filled with excitement as the parade made its way through the streets, showcasing festive floats and cheerful participants.

The children were particularly enthusiastic, laughing and playing with their friends, their joy palpable as they cheered for their peers who were performing in the high school band and in the parade. This was the first parade that the kids had ever attended.

The sound of the school choir filled the night, harmonizing beautifully as they sang classic holiday tunes. It was heartwarming to see the kids caught up in the holiday spirit, their eyes gleaming with excitement at each festive display and performance. Overall, it was a wonderful evening filled with laughter, community spirit, and cherished memories that we’ll hold onto as we move deeper into the holiday season.

It’s truly a magical time of year, and I feel grateful to share these experiences with my children, ensuring that the warmth of love and kindness shines bright amid the cold.
