The past few days, I have been thinking about my mom a lot. Don't get me wrong, I think about her almost everyday. However, lately it's been more than usual. Probably because the Holiday season is right around the corner, and for me it kicks off tomorrow. My mother loved the holidays. I mean, she absolutely adored them. She made sure to make every childhood moment during Christmas special and memorable for all of us. She embodied more spirit during these months than most people I know. I am a Christmas fanatic. I am straight up looney when it comes to the birth of Jesus Christ and decorating the house in red and green colors and millions of sparkling lights. Still, nothing I do during the season can even hold a candle to what my mother did. She made sure to convey the true meaning of the holiday as much as she could, whether it be Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter, Independence Day, Memorial Day, etc. And while the Advent season is my favorite time of the year, and despite the fact that there is Christmas music being played on my computer as I type out this very blog, I DO REMEMBER that Thanksgiving comes first. And in the true spirit of my mother, I have chosen to acknowledge the fall holiday and recollect all that I am thankful for.
