For many of us, the holidays are a time of memories and family traditions. And many of those memories go back to our
childhood. I remember buying the family Christmas tree with Dad. Mom wrapping presents while watching Christmas specials
on the living room TV. Many good memories float to my consciousness.
I understand that not all holiday memories are good ones. We don't get a pass on bad things happening just because we're in
the "holiday season." Wish that it was true, but it's not.
So my hope for you is that you and your family get to make some very happy memories this year. Memories that your
children will remember fondly when they're decorating their home in anticipation of their grandchildren coming to visit.
In fact, you might want to put that near the top of your "to do" list this year. Make a happy memory that your children
will carry with them.
Keep on Stretching those Dollars!
