In the house I grew up in, we celebrated Christmas. And it was magical.

I was too young and too naive to know that I had won the lottery being born into my family. But I am thankful every day that I was. We endlessly hear about the wonder of family, born into or chosen. The reminder is apt. Without them, life simply is not the same.

The re-sharing of this piece is with that sentiment in mind. 

Wishing you and those you love a very Happy Christmas!
