A Trip to Sam's Christmas Village

A couple weeks ago my family and I went to a Christmas village and light tour near my hometown. We had so much fun, the weather ended up being perfect and it was a magical way to kick off the season. The holidays are the time for us to think about gifts, but not just the paper-wrapped kind. The people in our lives can themselves be gifts — and so can a thousand other things, many of which are overlooked day to day. Our trip to the Christmas village reminded me of that truth and how grateful I am to simply be surrounded by family —  they're what makes the season meaningful.
