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.
