With one hand we wave goodbye to fall and thanksgiving, and with the other we wave hello to Christmas. The wonderful lights, the smell of peppermint, and the wintery coziness that this holiday brings are just some of the things that make it so special. It also brings us close to our family and friends and excites us for the new year. Merry Christmas!
