A
s the holidays approach we often
look forward to the onslaught of food
and festivities, the anticipation to
experience all the wonders and abundance
that this time of year brings. The blessings
of family and friends, gifts and gab, decor
and decadence. But somehow this year
feels different, heavier than holidays of the
past, as we collectively as a nation, begin
to see the light at the end of a dark tunnel.
Thoughts of those that have and are still suffering from the
natural disasters that have struck so many parts of our country,
of the people whose faces and stories linger in the corners of
our minds and for many of them they continue to move through
the rubble, water and ash. It would not be a lifestyle magazine
celebrating the holidays without well... celebration, but we do
pause and reflect and in fact, offer tips on how to help those who
this year are less fortunate than us and who are still struggling.
So, with that I wish you the very happiest of holidays—let us rejoice
at our good fortune and sheer luck and let us pause to remember
and help those who are in need. As Ronald Reagan so eloquently
said, "we can't help everyone, but everyone can help someone."
Wishing you and your family the very best of the holidays.
