I hope this holiday week finds you well and spending much needed down time with friends and family. As we wind down the year, I happily look back at so many things that brought me joy this year. And one of those is starting my Something To Hang Your Hat On newsletter.
Throughout the past few weeks, I've been sharing some of the previously published issues so you might get a peek at what subscribers see. Granted this only scratches the surface of what's in each one. In addition to the Something To Hang Your Hat On story for the week, you'll receive links to our favroite Dishin' With Debbie recipes, show highlights, other news stories, celebrity dirt and 'what I'm listening to' at the time.
Since we're still in holiday mode, I wanted to share one of the most recent issues entitled 'The Magic Of Christmas.' I hope you enjoy. And remember to subscribe to Something To Hang Your Hat On at country1037fm.com/Debbie
“Christmas Magic”
When we reflect on all the Christmases gone by, maybe we remember some of those ‘must have’ gifts we received. Perhaps we think about the special cookies or recipes our grandparents brought when they visited. But more than likely we focus on the feelings we experienced during that ‘magical’ time of year.
It seemed that no matter what kind of year we had, in those few days everything in the world was right. It’s like the lyrics to some of those classic Christmas carols. Troubles will be far away...or something like that. How did that ‘magic’ seem to happen just when we needed it the most?
Was it the work of some tiny elf who sat upon a shelf? I think you know the answer to that. LOL. Now that we’re grown up and able to examine ‘Christmas Magic’ from a more intellectual viewpoint, we realize where it came from all those years. All the beauty, joy, sparkly details and carefree days...it was family. Our family. Parents who loved us more than anything and simply wanted us to have the best Christmases ever...filled with ‘magic.’
As parents age and pass and we have children of our own, it’s our turn to keep the ‘magic’ going. It’s a daunting task with big shoes to fill. But, it’s also a task we embrace with the same passion our parents did. And now we know why they appeared so exhausted during the holidays. Many days they sacrificed their rest and relaxation to give you the gift of ‘Christmas magic.’ And if you asked them if they regretted it...they’d unequivocably respond, “Not one minute!”
My wish for you this holiday season is to give and experience the “Christmas magic” you felt as a child. And that’s Something To Hang Your Hat On.
