We’d like to send a special Thank You to
Roadrunner Store #6022 for their generous
donation to our Holiday Food Drive! And Thank You
to everyone here at the office who has donated as
well! Don’t forget – We are still accepting non-perishables thru 12/20.
The Christmas tree is up in all its glory here at the Johnson City Office
thanks to the combined efforts of everyone in-house. Has your store
decorated for the holiday season? We would love to see what you’ve done!
Do you have any cute/funny photos of your pet(s) with Santa? Or a hilarious Christmas anecdote? Send it all in to
. This gives you time to
prepare, lessens any anxiety that may be caused
from waiting until the last minute, and gives
you something to look forward to as you near the
last day of the year.
.
Need new glasses? Have money left from your
dependent care benefit account? Review your
accounts and be sure to submit qualifying
receipts for reimbursement or make plans to use
any extra credit/money you may have available
for use before the end of the year.
. Try to rekindle a broken
friendship or mend the relationship with a
family member. Give the gift of forgiveness – to
yourself and others. Old baggage can be toxic
and heavy. Go into this holiday season and new
year with a clean slate and open heart.
. Find time to do
what you love. Pursue the passion you’ve been
dreaming about. Life is hectic and we often lose
ourselves, but you can’t pour from an empty
canister. Do what makes you happy and be sure
to allow your own happiness.

–
Remember…The holiday season isn’t just about
presents and spending a small fortune, it’s about spending quality time with family and
friends. Put your phones down (except to snap pictures so you can always revisit the memories). Play some old-fashioned games that allow you to learn more about each other and create memories that are far more precious than possibly getting reactions from strangers on that one picture that can wait to be uploaded to social media.
Don’t spend more than you can afford. It’s the thought that matters and being present. Material items only last a little while. Memories are cherished and last far longer. People don’t live forever so it is vital to appreciate each other’s presence while we can.
