Is a flawless life the requirement for a perfect Christmas? Each year, I try to crank it out, but real life and a real Christmas are not like my artificial tree. I cannot bend those branches to suit my wishes.
Do I have the power to create memories whenever I wish? Possibly, but perhaps I should pay attention to the moments that will become sweet memories—even imperishable ones—if I only stop long enough to notice them. Even small and fleeting moments have the power to stay with us all our lives.
