Merry Christmas from the Bastians

Without a doubt, Christmas is my favorite time of the year. I'm not a big shopper, I don't really buy a ton of gifts for a lot of different people.

I simply enjoy spending time with my family and friends and do my best to take some time to relax, have some fun and reflect on what Christmas is to me.

I am not offended if people don't celebrate Christmas and I am glad others have their own reasons to celebrate. In my house, we have a Christmas tree and we have Christmas parties. If you prefer a "holiday" party just because you don't want to "offend" someone, I'm thankful you have that right.

So, from my family to yours, I want to wish you a very Merry Christmas!
