‘Tis the season when the holidays are approaching, festive music fills radio waves, and people begin to feel the spirit of the season. What makes the Christmas season as joyous and exciting from year to year remains a mystery. There is always a certain degree of magic that can be felt and experienced throughout the holiday months. Seeing families out cutting down their Christmas tree, present shopping for everyone on the list, and holiday baking marks the spirit of Christmas at home.

The magic spreads its wings and touches everyone with every gentle gust of wind. It touches the face of many, leaving cheeks rosy. It brings people together, creating the warmth of close family and friends. Celebrating family traditions helps to create the ambiance of the season. However, the holidays would not be the same if it weren’t for the people in our lives who strengthen the holiday magic.

The magic pours through every needle of the Christmas tree, every flake of snow that falls gracefully through the sky, every greeting card spreading holiday cheer. The magic finds its way into each of our lives on Christmas Day. It lifts our spirits, even when nothing else can, it excites us in such a way that no other day is able to, and helps us to remember the people who matter most to us at the end of the day.

The magic stays with us throughout the rest of the season, guiding us into the New Year. Though the magic fades as time passes, the fond memories and cheerful faces help to rekindle the Christmas magic throughout the year. The holiday magic appears throughout the year in different ways, catching us by surprise.

‘Tis the season; the holidays are here. It is time for family, time for snow, time for presents, and time to celebrate the magic we share with those we love. Reach out and enjoy the breadth and bounty the spirit of the season brings!
