The best thing about the holiday spririt is that we do not have to leave behind the joy, gratitude, happiness, and spiritual fulfillment that we experience during this period. Let’s not allow these things to diminish! Let’s carry them in our hearts and minds throughout the year. These qualities are God’s gifts to us. To laugh, to love, and to be grateful for every moment, year-round, is our gift to God. What greater gift exchange could there be?
