Celebrating the Holidays with Joy and Community

Per-nal

Thanksgiving is the foundation, gratefulness is the attitude; praising God for his goodness and faithfulness. 💖🙏

Beyond lavish displays, bountiful servings of food and expensive presents, the genuine affection to each other counts with greater measure.

During holidays, its a family day. Everyone prepares their own stories to tell; best cooks of the family parade their dishes and some come with presents.

Laughter rolls around; stories of success are celebrated. Stories of challenges are treated with gentle evaluation and an encouragement to reflect and make better plans.

The festive spirit had taken a prolonged pause in our lives, but as we gathered once again to celebrate the holidays, the memories of past gatherings came rushing back. This was how we always celebrated: with joy, laughter, and a sense of community. And now, despite the uncertainty of the times, we were determined to hold onto this tradition, to nurture and preserve it for generations to come. There was something special about the way we celebrated, something that bound us together, something that reminded us of who we were and what we stood for.💞
