Our families we have had all our lives, but do we ever really appreciate them? Do we ever think about how our lives would be totally different without them? They say Christmas season is a time for family, but most get caught up in the everyday stresses of  the season. On Christmas day, sitting at the dinner table, eating dishes everyone worked hard to prepare, you feel a sudden sense of peace and family. There are no more worries of disliked gifts, spoiled dishes, or ugly decorations. All your work has finally paid off. It’s a time of relief, joy, and serenity. That is one memory that will always live inside of my heart.
