(Sometimes you just have to buy a book for the cover.)

Life has been so busy this year that I haven’t even started preparing for the holidays. But I have started thinking about preparing for them. So I’ve at least coordinated our family calendar, etching out time to spend with parents, grandparents, cousins, and siblings! Because other than celebrating what your family believes, it is the family itself that brings the most joy (and sometimes the most chaos) to the holidays.

When it comes to the holidays, here are some quotes that spoke to me. 

Holiday Quotes
