Merry Christmas Around The World

by Kris Pitcher

It's said around the world in many ways, Merry Christmas! I hope you're enjoying your traditions whatever they may be. Take time today to slow down and look around you, at those in your life who you are most grateful for...and let them know. 


Take time to enjoy simply spending time together, sharing a meal, playing a game, or giving a gift. Be greatful for all that you have in your life, for your health, and for your happiness. 


I wonder how others celebrate, what their traditions are, and what all of you might be doing today. And in that spirit here's a Merry Christmas from around the world!
