Activity: After Christmas Spirit
Story: Taking down the Christmas tree can be a sad time, but we like to think that the magic of the season never really ends. We keep that spirit alive all year round. After packing up the decorations, we enjoyed some homemade pecan pie and reminisced about the good times. Then, we had an epic indoor snowball fight that left everyone in stiches. It was a great way to replace sadness with laughter and good times. After all it's all about spreading joy and doing things together that's the real gift we give each other.
