Happy Holidays!
I want to thank you, on behalf of the entire dPS team, for being a loyal reader and fan. May all your Photography Wish List items and dreams be fulfilled. But most of all I wish you times spent with family and close friends, all the love and joy of the season, and all the best as we head into 2014!
However you celebrate, whatever holiday is close to your heart, I hope you create special memories with loved ones. In my family we have chosen not to buy the other adults gifts (just for the kids) and instead focus on spending time together, laughing, reminiscing, playing games and of course eating!
Earlier this week I spent the morning helping handing out “gifts” at a place called Bissell Center (which helps the homeless and low income families survive). On New Year’s Day (as I have for about the last 25 years) I will participate in their annual dinner and help serve over 1000 needy people a hot holiday meal (for many, it is their only meal of the week). This is what sums up the true meaning of the holidays for me. I have so much, and am grateful every day. Christmas to me, means sharing my good fortune with those not so fortunate, and being surrounded with the people most important to me.
What do the holidays mean to you? How do you celebrate?
