There’s something mythically inspiring about the holiday season. It generally fosters a sense of togetherness, from the Christmas movies to the stores’ displays to parties and snow and pastoral scenes. It moves me each and every year.
Some may argue that it has become a season of overindulgence and consumerism, and, you know, that’s hard to argue with. Every email I get is an appeal to buy something or other during the seasonal sales.
Still, it feels as if we grow a little bit closer to each other as well. Just a bit. And that’s ultimately what the season is about anyway. Coming together.
