The highs and lows
Despite some bad times, we have reason to celebrate this holiday Sometimes it’s easy for me to feel the holiday spirit. And sometimes, it is as if the holidays never existed.
This year, for example, I decided that, in addition to the “store-bought” gifts I got for my family members, I would make a gift for each one, as well.
Let’s just say that, while I am by far NOT an expert artist/craftsperson, each gift is made with lots of love. And my family members will act as if their handmade gifts are the most gorgeous, most precious things ever made by human hands, because they love me as much as I love them.
It will mean something to my family members that I took the time to make a gift for them. And because I know that already, even when I am making a mess and even when the gift doesn’t come out looking like I had hoped it would, the process of creating these gifts makes me happy.
