I agree--the most important thing to focus on this season is to stop and cherish those we love. And, by the way, that is a delightful illustration.

I've been meditating on the idea that the added tasks are a blessing - there would be no cards to send or gifts to buy if we weren't blessed with friends and love ones to share the season with. That and staying away from malls goes a long way toward keeping the holiday crazys at bay. <br /><br />Merry Monday, Patricia!
