Christmas Memories


ONE OF THE BEST times to make memories is at Christmas. Throughout the holiday season, it's natural for families to come together. It's a time for seeing and visiting with each other, catching-up with the latest news and activities, eating great food, laughing, exchanging gifts, and generally enjoying the company of one another.

When its all over, of course family members will remember the good times, but these memories need to be preserved - at least with photos taken with a throw-away camera! So, don't forget to take pictures. As the years go by, those pictures will be enjoyed again and again by all who see them.

Keep in mind, Christmas is a great time for reflecting on memories - and, for creating new ones.

Below are pictures of Christmases past from gatherings of my own family. To me, it's well worth saving those precious memories.
