What Are Your Traditions?

Episode Description

We're almost halfway through September, and the holidays will be here before you know it. Most of us ride along with whatever traditions show up. Somebody else decorates. Somebody else throws the party. Somebody else makes the season feel like something worth showing up for.

But somebody had to start that tradition.

Today I want you to think about the people who create the moments the rest of us get to enjoy, and what happens when you get ahead of the season instead of letting it run you over. You get to decide what happens this year.

Featured Story

We were walking around the block the other night and stopped at the end of the street where my neighbor Hope lives. Her house is decorated year-round. Landscaping is her stress relief, so she's always out there. But come Christmas, she goes all out, and she's already moving things around, getting ready.

I asked her if she was decorating again this year. Yes, yes, yes, I am. That's what I do. It's my tradition.

So I told her thank you, because she makes Christmas for the rest of us. And she does. Take away that lit-up, happy house at the end of the street, and our whole neighborhood feels different.
