The holidays have always been my favorite time of the year because it’s the season of joy, gift giving and uniting with dear friends and loved ones. Now that Christmas 🎄 and the ringing in of the new year is behind us, the decision to pack up the holiday decorations from inside and outside of my home was made —they come down today.

My front door no longer glistens in the night, the tree is replaced with a chair and what once was the Holiday Wall, now dons a framed Pegge Hopper print.

Although the holidays are over, let’s continue to spend some time caring, sharing, helping and giving back to the community and others.
