My Holiday Wishes

We're on the countdown to Christmas! One more week of school and then a few days at home before Christmas Day. Then another week until we're welcoming in 2014 when the ball drops on New Year's Eve. As we close out the 2013 entries for the In Your Corner Blog, I would like to use this week's entry to share My Holiday Wishes... for each of you!

I wish that each one of you gets to spend time with your family. Real time. The kind of time when you look at each other and talk to each other. So put up your cell phone. Sit down at the dinner table. Play a game. Watch a show together. Go for a walk. The time we have with our family is precious. Make an effort over the next two weeks to spend some time with those you love.

I wish that each one of you remembers to show appreciation for the gifts you receive. We all have visions of sugarplums dancing in our heads. Sugarplums... and gifts. Some of you are hoping for a phone, a tablet, a PS4, new clothes, videos, sports gear, hunting gear, art supplies, books... the list goes on and on. Whatever you receive this season, remember to show appreciation because any gift, large or small, represents the love and sacrifice of another person. Please accept these gifts with a smile, a hug, and a thank you. 

I wish that each one of you remembers that you are loved (by God and others). We all have different circumstances in our lives and we will all have different experiences over the holidays. Whatever your traditions, your meals, or your activities, I hope that you feel that love.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, SMS!

Enjoy your holiday. I'll see you in 2014.
