There is something truly magical and wonderful about this time of year. Twinkling lights, joyful music, and yes – even ugly sweaters, are delightful reminders of a season of thanksgiving and celebration. Apart from the hustle and bustle, it is also a time to look back on the year that was and rejoice with friends and family.
