The Magic of Holidays…..

In every month there is a time to celebrate a new holiday or season… the first day of Spring, Valentine’s Day, April Fool’s Day, the Independence day of your country, Christmas, New Year’s… you have the idea. Often, we find it difficult to let go of those special times, particularly the magic and joy we experience and the spirit of love we share with others.

Although we enjoy all the special days each year, the one holiday that still lives on in my family this year is…..Christmas.
The magical glow of Christmas lights is still enjoyed here in the evenings.

Would you believe we still have our Christmas tree out on our deck, complete with lights and star on top!!!??? And even though it is a bit “skinny” in spots, it is still alive???!!!
At least, the decorations have been removed but every weekend when I mention removing the tree, loud protests can be heard from my family and all of my son's friends.
So, it is still here and the lights are on every night.



I must admit that we all enjoy the magical beauty of the lights.
However the spring birds are beginning to check it out to create their future homes….

Happy Holidays !!!
