Picture this: a used flashcube, four half-inch squares clipped from recycled holiday cards and a thin piece of red thread always receive prominent placement on Jennifer and my Christmas tree.
Check out my current essay of Exclusive Content for Multiple Sclerosis Foundation’s MS Focus Magazine to see why it’s important to continue making memories and growing your holiday traditions.
“The older I get and the longer I live with MS, I have realized that making holiday memories and time-honored traditions didn’t end when I left my parent’s home in Iowa to go to college, moved to Michigan to pursue a writing career or when I was diagnosed with MS in 2000. They are as much a part of today as they will be next year and the years that follow.”
All holiday traditions have a beginning. What new ones are you starting this year? Read my essay Making holiday traditions didn’t stop with MS for insights into connecting the experiences of the past to the gifts of today (i.e., the present!).
