Holidays: A Time for Family Traditions

 

There is something about holidays which always makes me feel connected to family. Whether it is owing to the traditions which families have passed down over the generations, or those traditions created in our own home for our children, the day's events bring sweet memories with them.

While your family's holiday memories may not include the romanticized Christmas Eve lithograph created in 1878 by J. Hoover & Son, dubbed by some as "the most prolific Philadelphia chromolithographer of parlor prints during the late nineteenth century," I hope this day, and the one following on Sunday, bring you meaningful times with those who mean the most to you.
