The holidays are a time of celebration, relationships, and gathering, but what about when you are missing the presence of a loved one? Many circumstances can prevent us from getting together with the people we love during the holidays: death, military, serving missions, traveling, finances,  scheduling, and the list goes on. With intention, a little planning, and some thought, you can still enjoy the holiday and make it memorable and special! In this week's podcast Jessica Rydalch and I talk about the many ways we can make the holidays special even without the presence of a loved one.  Jessica has first-hand experience with her son’s serving missions for our church and being able to come home for Christmas. Last year both of her son’s were away from home. Join us this week for some great ideas to make your holidays memorable!
