Dickens for Christmas

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE!

Santa is soon to be on his way and our families will start piling through the front door for our Christmas Eve party. As I sit by our marvelous Christmas tree in Ohio, I cannot help but think this truly is the best time of the year. 

Right before leaving for Ohio, we celebrated Kathy's 29th birthday (yay!) with a day at the Charles Dickens Christmas Fair. The fair took place in San Francisco in 1970 and has become a yearly tradition since, and for good reason. You walk through the doors and you're instantly taken to London in the 1800's with theatric music halls, pubs, dance floors, and Christmas shops. We had an absolute blast!

Not everyone celebrates Christmas, specifically for reasons of religion, but other religions have similar holidays that celebrate the spirit of Christmas: love, acceptance, forgiveness, belief, family and friends. Whatever you may be celebrating, at whatever time of the year, may today and tomorrow grace you with the effect of the Christmas Spirit!!

As Charles Dickens says, "I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all year."

Wishing you all Happy Holidays!
