Holiday quotes are the last thing we think about from November until January. The holiday months are fast-paced crazy days.  From turkey to tinsel, and trying to keep our family healthy, we barely have time for ourselves, much less to reflect on the reason for the season.

With that in mind, let me give you a reason to slow down for a few minutes each day.  If nothing else, take a brief walk and ponder what each of these Holiday Quotes mean to you. 

In doing so, you may just find yourself enjoying the quiet time, putting things in better perspective, and enjoying your holidays and family just a little bit more!
