It’s December 2022, and it has been a wonderful year getting back to things that feel more normal.

My family and I are looking forward to celebrating the Christmas holiday and the birth of our Lord and Savior. Spending time with family and friends and participating in the traditions we enjoy is much anticipated.

We have so much to be thankful for, and although the season can be stressful, I encourage you to focus on simply making memories that will last a lifetime.

One tradition my family looks forward to is going together to cut our Christmas tree from our land. Cooking, eating, games and lots of laughter fill our time together.

Whatever your holiday looks like, make it special with those you love. May God bless you, each and every one.
