Things I Learned From Christmas

Attire does not an occasion make (referring to the 5-year-old in pjs).

Age doesn’t matter when in the presence of loved ones. Engagement is everything.

Stories and memories never grow old.

Love prefers to congregate in small spaces.

Dogs share their affection equally.

(Thanks to my husband for capturing these moments.)
