Holiday Memories

If you close your eyes and think of the happiest holiday memory you have, chances are you envision yourself younger, surrounded by the people that you're closest to, when times felt simpler.

What part of that memory is the strongest? Maybe you remember a specific scent - maybe hot cocoa steaming in the air after a day in the snow, freshly baked cookies cooling on a rack, the smell of the fireplace crackling as you opened presents. Maybe you remember the foil wrapping paper that scattered the floor, or the way the snow glittered and shimmered in the light as it fell. Maybe you remember the sounds of laughter, the holiday music, or the quiet of a pages being turned in a book.
