Giving

As a child, Christmas was a “magical” time, a time of mystery and dark, a time of expectation and celebration, a time of giving and receiving.

My parents really enjoyed Christmas and enjoyed the part they played for their children. As kids we were always excited with what we were going to receive, especially the surprises along the way. Yet, we were also taught, and learned to enjoy giving as well. The balance was always there. That balance is a gift I treasure to this day.
