As someone who is fascinated by and continually learning about story (personal stories, life framing systems, archetypes and mythology, and more), I put together a unique kind of holiday list relating what, to me, would constitute a really great holiday:

• Plenty of friends and family
  
• Time to reflect and understand
  
• Lots of laughter
  
• Tears (from a softened heart)
  
• Awareness (awe) of beauty
  
• Wonder (embracing the mystery)
  
• Hope (drawing us forward into an ever-expanding and enriching life)
  
• Desire (for clarity, for understanding, for connection)
  
• Giving from the abundance of appreciation for what we have
  
• Receiving the joy another shares
  

Wherever you are this year, I hope you enjoy a full, happy, and blessed holiday!
