As you may know, my mother passed away earlier this year, and it’s been a real challenge for me to get into the holiday spirit. It’s possible I’ve even been a bit of a scrooge.

Now, I’ve tried to be gentle with myself, because losing a loved one is hard, and struggling during the holidays is completely normal.

But when I read this on my friends Facebook time line, I knew immediately that this was the Christmas spirit I was looking for. So, a big thanks to Kaya for helping me see the light, and from my heart to yours, I wish these gifts upon you.
