The smell of cookies baking, the sight of twinkling lights, and the joy of countless hours that are spent with family, make this season a truly magical time of year. I know this holiday season is going to look a little different than years past. Not everyone will get to see family or friends, but that does not mean we can’t still celebrate all that we have and all that we are thankful for!
