'Tis the Season

OK. Take a deep breath.

The last of the wrapping paper has drifted to the floor, except for that piece stuck to the ceiling fan. The dog has finally stopped chasing the remote controlled toys, settling instead for leftovers from the kids plates. And the company has disappeared through the door with promises to "Do it all again next year!". Threat? Promise? Who knows.

What we do know is this. We are truly blessed, enjoying a standard of living unknown in most of the world. Enjoying opportunities that our parents and grand-parents barely considered possible. Amid the hustle and bustle of the season, take time to reflect not just on what's on sale, but on what we have and hold dear. Only then can we really appreciate the real reason for the season.

From the members of LaRue Lodge, we hope you've had a Merry Christmas, and look toward a Happy and Prosperous New Year.
