As we move from American Thanksgiving into December and holiday time, let’s talk about the legacy of family traditions. This is dear to my heart right now because a year ago, this last weekend, I found out that my father only had 3 months left to live. And my first reaction … well actually my second reaction … was to drive hard into the family traditions of Christmas … to make that Christmas special, memorable, sacred, and precious. Not just for my father, because we knew it was his last, but for all of us, because it’s one we will remember forever.
