Stopping to smell the roses and little presents
I think everyone has their 'thing' and this is the perfect time of year to indulge a little and enjoy pleasures like egg nog, fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies or curling up on the couch as a family and watching 'It's a Wonderful Life" or other holiday themed movies. As busy as things get, please do make time for that special moment and remember, the best moments are the ones we share. Happy Holidays!
