The Magic Mirror

The Phoenix Guide: 2020

Every year the holidays make their way back around. This means different things for each of us. Some of us spend our days shopping for family and friends, then spend our nights sleeping in heavenly peace while warm and snug in our beds. Some of us struggle throughout the year-financially, physically, mentally, emotionally, and/or spiritually-and would love to be able to skip the holidays altogether. Some of us don't celebrate the holidays because it's just not something we do. The holidays are known for bringing happiness, sometimes magical miracles, and let's not forget stress! This year in particular, however, has brought with it a very different holiday season. Even for those of us who choose not to celebrate the holidays, I think it's safe to say that this year, we all have a reason or two to be thankful. Just making it to the end of this year is a major accomplishment in itself- and that alone deserves some recognition at the very least.
