\nOver the years, I\u2019ve managed to store up a treasure chest filled with happy memories of holiday times with family and friends. There are times spent on family vacations at places that later became our special family spots. And times spent at home. Trips with friends. Parties. Hanging out. But regardless of place, time or activity, there are some standard ingredients that you\u2019ll find in all my happy holiday memories: loved ones, quality time, laughter, warmth and joy. Oh, and food of course.<\/p>\n

Because these are the staples. Yes, naturally there\u2019s the specific holiday\u2019s God-ordained significance. That\u2019s first and foremost. But there are also the other universal happy-holiday-synonyms: no work, sleeping late, tables laden with delicious treats and that warm fuzzy feeling that everything is okay with the world. And no matter who you are or where you find yourself, holidays should be spent surrounded by those who know and love you.<\/p>\n
