Christmas Trees and the Holiday Spirit.

img_4158This time of year becomes magical. I embrace everything holiday- from songs to decor to movies. I own snowflake booties to wear in the house and recently got a holiday hat.

I am a product of Catholic School. Throughout elementary and middle school there was an annual Christmas play and I always eagerly participated. The last few years of middle school I was the play’s narrator, that is almost as important as being Baby Jesus!

The Christmas spirit has remained with me all these years. Today I decorated my tiny tree and wrapped a few presents. It was almost as relaxing as meditating.

This time of year lends itself to being happy and festive if you allow yourself to embrace all the feels.

Therefore, my 62 Days of Reflection begins today.
