Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas …

 

For thousands of years cultures all over the world have celebrated a special day toward the end of December as a day of renewal and hope. Be it the Romans celebrating the planting of crops during Saturnalia, The Germanic tribes of northern Europe celebrating the rebirth of the sun at Yule, the Egyptians celebrating the rebirth of Osiris, the Persians celebrating the rebirth of Mithra, the Jews celebrating the eight nights of Hanukkah, and today, the celebrating of spending lots of money to buy family and friends presents for Xmas.

The real reason though why people love this time of year is family. We come together with parents, siblings, children and friends and celebrate our love for each other.

And of course, the season wouldn’t be complete without holiday pictures!

Who doesn’t want to capture this special time of joy!

Those moments we cherish,

that remind us of the precious reason for the season!

And all the special memories we shared together!

And preserve them so we can enjoy them for years to come!

So from my family, to your family. May this season bring you happiness, and joy, and all the warmest holiday memories for you to cherish now and many more in the future.

Props to Groovy Dave for the wonderful pictures!
