Happy Holidays

There are soooo many holidays. Maybe you celebrate each and every one. Maybe there are some you skip or skimp out on. 
I think it's important to know WHAT we are celebrating and WHY we are celebrating the way that we are. 
Noel Piper wrote an amazing book called "Treasuring God In Our Traditions". 
Create traditions. Make sure they have meaning and purpose. Make sure that each holiday is a special day to focus on treasuring God all the more. Holidays usually revolve around giving gets, giving thanks, and getting together. 
Somehow, holidays also usually involve family quarrels, rotten attitudes, and major stress. 
Slow down and make each holiday SPECIAL. 
Enjoy the moment. Love one another. You'll be glad you did!

What's your favorite holiday? What's your favorite tradition? Do you have any strange traditions?
