There is Joy In the Air

The Christmas Season is upon us, and there is joy in the air. There’s something special about this holiday season. Perhaps it’s because Christmas is about hope and a brighter future. Christmas is a time when we extend a helping hand to others and gather together as a family. It’s a time when children gaze in amazement at the lights and festivities and are oblivious to anything wrong in the world. It’s a time to forget the challenges of the past year and to be grateful for what we have today. Hugs feel a little more special this year. Blessings are a little sweeter.

Joy is in the air, and maybe that is because we need more joy this year. It’s part of who we are; it’s our nature to bounce back and find joy in the moment. We wish everyone a joyous Holiday Season filled with love, laughter, hope, and joy.
