DECEMBER A TIME TO CELEBRATE FAMILY, MAKE MEMORIES
W
hile it’s no secret that I am not really a big fan of winter, I do love December. Who can be grumpy when it’s the holiday season? My family has a host of activities we do without fail every holiday season. We drive around and look at Christmas lights. We visit the giant Christmas tree at the Durham Museum (and visit Santa there). We turn on old Christmas music my grandparents used to play while we set up the Christmas tree. We buy a new pair of Christmas pajamas
and a new Christmas book. We love baking a new kind of cookie. The list could go on. (In fact, it does on page 16.) December also holds an extra special place in my heart because it’s the month I became a mom. My oldest son, Sammy, was born on Dec. 13, and so for that reason alone, it is the best time of year. I hope, however you spend your holiday season, that you are healthy, happy and surrounded by the people you love most.
