Dressing Up for the Holidays
Thanksgiving and Christmas are upon us and it’s always a special time! In particular, we visit friends and family some of whom we haven’t seen in some time. We bring gifts, we cook special meals and generally enjoy the spirit of the season.
Usually, these days present opportunities to get dressed up. It’s all about making the moment special. It’s not the usual event and we celebrate in part by wearing nicer clothes — our “Sunday Bests”.
So why not dress up the party or dinner? Sure, you’ve cooked a nicer cut of beef, baked that secret pie recipe or prepared hors d’oeuvres especially for the occasion. Why not bring a special bottle of wine for the meal? Perhaps a prosecco to toast the chef as you sit down to dinner. Or an exotic liqueur to sip with that fancy dessert.
As much as this has been a tough year for a lot of people, our country in general, our spirit is not dampened. As we bring that spirit into the holiday season, let’s remember and be grateful for all of the blessings we have shared this year.
