This Holiday Season seems to be especially difficult for those with strong political values, and for families with differences in opinions...  It can turn downright ugly! 

There are some that are not able to be around their family during the Holiday Season and would give up so much just to be able to see the most important people in their lives.  They rely on photos for now,  hoping that one day they can all join together again!  Maybe their dreams didn't quite work out as planned.  Or maybe people have just moved on and go forward with lives in different places.  Some have had family that have passed and there will only be photos and memories to turn to.  Either way it is just as difficult. 

If those lucky family members that do get to spend this time together can be aware and appreciate the ties that bind you rather than those that divide you, a great Holiday season is certainly in store for you! 

Just imagine how great it can be if we all can let the politics go for a day or two, rely on the inclusion of the people you have relied on your whole life to be there until the end.  Even if you are not together often,  you are bound by heart, by family ties. 

Merry Chirstmas and Happy Holidays to all of you!
