Take a moment and reflect on your earliest Christmas memories—opening your first present on Christmas Eve, the pajamas you would wear as you layed sleeplessly on the hide-a-bed sofa waiting for morning to come. Perhaps standing nervously in a long line, practicing in your head your Christmas list until it’s finally your turn to meet Santa.

Yes, we realize that these place settings turned out that good. Please allow us to share some additional details that you won’t see in the photos.

There’s something about the hustle and bustle of the holiday season that’s both life-giving and all together wearing on the soul. This is even more true when there are little ones in your life. Hauling your kids around to not-so-baby-proofed, not-so-toy-stocked houses can get exhausting. Yet the truth is, these seemingly dangerous or unentertaining homes of the aunts, uncles and grandparents in your young children’s lives will be the places they make so many memories. Finding secret hiding places due to the lack of toys or eating their dinner on their cousin’s bed because there’s not enough seats at the table set for 45— that is what the holidays are all about.

The season of giving thanks has quickly snuck up on us. November represents more than a holiday with a large turkey in the middle of the table or an annual football tournament for us. It represents hours standing in front of our stove as Perry Como’s holiday classics serenade us, quiet moments reviewing recipes old and new, taking time to close our eyes and make plans for new traditions without forgetting the old, and above all else, the laughter that warms our home when family is together.

Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,
Nothing is going to get better. It’s not.
