As the saying goes, ’tis the season! For some of us, the holidays are a time to get together with family and celebrate traditions that have been passed on for generations. For others, it’s a time to relax, unwind and disconnect.

We celebrate both Hanukkah and Christmas and have had fun incorporating both old and new traditions into our celebrations. Hanukkah is mostly celebrated with my side of the family where we take turns hosting dinners and all of the cousins (8 in total), have fun running, playing and tearing open their gifts.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n For Christmas, we head up to the family cottage where our days are spent skating on the frozen lake, going for walks in the snow and sitting by the fire drinking wine after the kids are in bed.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I love and cherish both holidays for different reasons but I truly love the holidays season because I’m constantly surrounded by my family and loved ones. It doesn’t matter how busy life gets or how much I have to do both personally or professionally, when the holidays roll around, I just take a break! I mostly disconnect and try to be in the moment as much as possible.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I also find that the holidays are a time to reflect. When I think about gift giving, I can’t help but think about how lucky and fortunate my family and I are. This year, more than ever, we have so much to be grateful for. That’s why my husband and I made a commitment to giving a big\u00a0portion of our earnings to charity and really taking the time to teach our kids about the importance of giving\u00a0and being grateful for what we ALREADY have.<\/p>\n
