Holidays
The smell of pine needles, spruce and the smell of a Christmas tree — those to me, are the scents of the holidays.
Life is all about balance, and there are certain times of the year — birthday, anniversary, holidays — that are meant to be enjoyed without guilt. That being said, Thanksgiving is a meal — it's not a Thanksgiving day, and it's not a Thanksgiving week.
The holidays are only overwhelming because it's crunch time. It's like everyone trying to get last-minute things in before the New Year starts.
I love spending time with my family and friends during the holidays, and my favorite holiday tradition would be the pozole that my mom makes almost every Christmas. It's the best!
The best way to celebrate the holidays is with some delicious food.
My parents instilled a really good work ethic from when I was little — if you want to have money to spend on holidays, you earn it. So I've always been someone who wanted to be able to survive by myself, but I think you have to let down the barriers a little bit — let other people in.
Holidays — any holiday — are such a great opportunity to focus on bringing the family together.
I try to celebrate all the holidays that the Scriptures talk about.
