can’t have all of everything.
everyone wants to have happiness for themselves and their loved ones around the holidays. we wish people “merry christmas,” “happy holidays,” and “happy new year,” but rarely do we consider what really makes us happy during the holiday season and throughout the year. if you think back on past holiday seasons when you were particularly happy, you will likely discover it had more to do with gifts you gave, people you were with, and activities you enjoyed rather than something you received.
