Christmas is nearly upon us, that magical time of year where sugar plums dance in our bellies, carols compete with jingle bells for aural dominance, and even the Grinch contemplates returning those Who-ville decorations (maybe). But beyond the twinkling lights and gingerbread houses, Christmas, to be celebrated on December 25, is ultimately about connection, about sharing warmth and joy with those who make our hearts jingle all year long.
