Best things don’t come in packaging

This is the time of year that evokes vivid visual images for most people. They may be brought about by hearing a familiar carol playing while walking past a storefront. It could be a remembered image of Santa Claus or the nativity set made by one’s children over the years. Whatever the trigger, we all have memories of the holiday season. Everyone’s idea of what the perfect Christmas should be is very personal. It comes from a combination of all the family traditions we have experienced, in some cases endured, over the years.
