The holidays often bring a whirlwind of activity, from shopping to parties to endless to-do lists. Yet, beneath the surface of all the busyness lies a deeper meaning that many of us discover only as we grow older. For me, Christmas started as a magical time filled with toys, fun, and happiness. Now, as an adult, it has transformed into something richer: a time to be with family, cherish loved ones, pass on traditions, and reflect on life’s journey.
