A holiday is not just a day of the week…even though (sometimes) it kind of feels like it is.

• You have to shovel the snow and clear the walkways.
• You have to prepare and cook food.
• You have to clean up and wash dishes.

Even with all of that (and so much more)…you:

• have the choice to be home or away.
• have an opportunity to welcome family to celebrate.
• have a chance to reflect, look back or forward.

It you stop to think about it, this isn’t just a day like any other. It is special in it’s own unique way whether you choose to enjoy long, time-honored traditions, or make new ones. What will it be this year? Your choice. (And, it shouldn’t be any other way.)
