"The journey is the reward."
- Steve Jobs
My memories are clear as yesterday,
Enjoying traditions of the years past,
Reflecting back as if it were today,
Realizing this was some years ago,
Yet taking time to live in the moment.
Coming together and celebrating,
Hearing seasonal songs and children’s laughs,
Ripping gifts open and seeing smiles,
It brings together family and friends,
Some near and some far to share holiday,
Tasting the seasonal delicacies,
Making many new memories today,
Adults telling stories of yesterdays,
Sharing the reason for the season’s joy.
