Christmas is now officially less than a week away and it is usually a time where we celebrate it with our family or friends for the holidays. Depending on what you decide to do this Christmas, try to remember to hug your loved ones you are surrounded with a little tighter. I know this title may sound cliché, but it is something we take for granted.

We have to remember that we are happy that we get to celebrate the holidays surrounded by people that care about us and are still here with us. Being with your family for the holidays is a reminder that our time on this earth is precious and our times with the people we love is precious. I know we don't think about our time enough because we always assume we have plenty of time to share and be with our loves ones.

But, for this Christmas, let's try to actually be in the moment. Let's not look at it as a time where we do the same holiday traditions or a time where we dread because we have to see 30 or more family members. It is a time we should be blessed that we have these people in our lives. We should never take our time with people for granted because there are loved ones here with us and loved ones not here with us today.

As the days are slowly approaching we should try to make this Christmas more special, try to remember why we are grateful to be able to celebrate a time with people we care about. It Is never too late to show our gratitude for our loved ones.
