For this year, the Christmas holidays will consist of myself along with loved ones spending Christmas Eve traveling to the local park and viewing “Christmas in the park” as it’s been called for many years in my hometown of Logan, West Virginia. The vast astonishment of various Christmas lights, displays of Christmas decorations and a cocoa booth with some of the best hot chocolate around the county! The rest of the evening will be centered around the much needed quality time of different Christmas movies and activities of making gingerbread houses with the grandkids. On the morning of Christmas Day, just as the early morning festivities begin of the shredding of paper from gifts, to the aroma of fresh coffee and the gathering of loved ones, once presents are exchanged, the family spend their time together with conversations of every day life amongst each other with many memories of Christmas pasts and the air fills with laughter from pure nostalgia. These are the things that make life worth living. To whoever may take time to read this, thank you. Happy Holidays!
