Christmas during the 1800’s was very different than the way it is celebrated today. The emphasis was on the gathering and sharing, less on the material things we seem to value so much today. We still gather and show each other how we love them even if it isn’t around a campfire. The need to be with each other and share our lives in one of the biggest holidays we celebrate is still one of the most important times of our lives. With that in mind I would like to share with you and your loved ones my wishes for a very Merry Christmas and hope for a brand new year. Be well everyone.
