One of the first things that comes to my mind when pondering about the holidays is family. When it comes down to it, I hold them closest to my heart.
I grew up with a lot of cousins, aunts, and uncles who all lived very close to my own immediate family, and I can guarantee they would all attest that we are as close knitted as they come. Christmas is one of the most special times for us as we all pack together in my grandmother's basement and share each other's company for the night.
Not everyone shares the same holiday experiences or benefits as myself, but the feeling of being loved by a family is something we can all share. Whether it's with your own, a significant other's, or a friends, the holiday spirit brings out the best in us all.
Some of my favorite memories come from Christmas experiences with my family. Whether it was playing Catchphrase, watching silly movies, or sharing hilarious life stories, just being in each other's presence was/is enough to make us glow with happiness.
There is nothing more pure than spending the holidays with the people we love. So when getting together with the people you'll be sharing the holidays with, remember that it is times like these that we will cherish for the rest of our lives.
