For our Family, there’s Truly No Place like HOME for the Holidays!
In 2007, our family traveled to the Island of Maui where we spend 3 weeks of vacation time that included both the Christmas and New Years Celebrations. While it was a great experience and a wonderful vacation that created some unforgettable memories, we really did miss the snow, holiday decorations, and the extended family members that are such a big part of our Festive Holiday Traditions.
This year, as we gather together with our family to celebrate, there is the excitement of a new little family member who will be experiencing his very first Christmas! But, there is also a little melancholy, as another family member is now missing from the dinner table, and will be greatly missed. 2022 has impacted our lives, bringing both Rich Blessings and a Deep Loss that, for each of us, has underscored the importance of taking the time to “Be Present” with our loved ones whenever we can. It’s not unusual for our Christmas Fun to run into the wee hours of the morning, so we often bring an overnight bag with the intention of sleeping wherever there is space. Then we pick up the next day with board games, warmed up left-overs, and some outdoor fun too!
While our Christmas Holidays will feel a little different this year, we’re very grateful we get to spend them together with those we love!
May you take the time to Treasure the Moments that will become Special Memories as you gather with Friends and Family to Celebrate the Holidays!
From our Family to Yours, We Wish You a very Merry Christmas!
Sincerely,
The Rosts
