Sunspiration #100: 'Tis the Season of Thanks

Today, the holiday season is wrapped up in consumerism. No longer are children interested in oranges and roasted chest nuts, but fascinated by the awe-inspiring glitters of technology and packaged toys. Materialism is a part of this world. A balance between gratitude and gift giving is healthy. Children of the past received one to two gifts and cherished those prized possessions as it was similar to a treat. 

Many Americans are breaking away from consumeristic holidays and rooting back to the spirit and the authentic meaning of the holiday season. It's a time to express gratitude during the darkest time of the year. It's a time of reflection on the past 11 months. It's a season of enjoying loved ones and the company of others.

That is the true spirit of the holiday season, a time to express thanks for everything, from the sweet fruits of nature to the acts of kindness from a friend.
Happy holiday season. 

As always, inspired by the sun, 
Elizabeth
