I love Christmas, it is the time of year when family and friends gather to look back over the year, dream of the future and share. It is the one time during the year that i have my whole family at home. It is hard with children off at school, parents living in another state and finding the time to spend together. Christmas is a happy time when you play games, eat to much and enjoy the weather, be it hot or cold.

My family would say that I go overboard on the holiday, but I don't. I love decorating the tree every year, buying the presents, giving to those less fortunate, and spending the time with my family. It is a time to reconnect with those dreams that could have gotten away, but haven't because you have a few days left in the year.
