Just in case you have not noticed the holiday season is here. We ate too much at Thanksgiving and we survived Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and Cyber Monday. We are planning and preparing for celebrating the holidays with our family and friends. We especially celebrate the children who are so energized and excited by the season. The anticipation of gifts and the excitement of the possibility of seeing the loved ones that may only be seen this one time each year is renewed. This time can be magical, and we are all obligated by our individual traditions to celebrate and enjoy the season to the best of our abilities.
