Do you feel like time is passing before your eyes? I do more than ever! As I’m decorating our home for this Christmas season, I’m realizing just how quickly the year has passed. And how true it is that time goes quicker the older we get. As I look back it’s hard to believe my son is finishing his third semester in Law School and my daughter is finishing her third semester at Cornell University. It really does seem like just yesterday that we were enjoying the Holiday activities at their elementary school, listening to the musical performances, baking cookies with their classmates, having sleigh riding parties and afterwards enjoying hot chocolate with homemade cookies that the kids had made and decorated. Now, I’m an empty nester (for most of the year) and am picking out a Christmas tree, decorating the house, and shopping without the children in tow and helping with the festivities. I count the days until they’re home for Winter break. The house will be lively again, and the smells of home baked cookies, the Christmas music, the decorating, the messes of wrapping presents, the chitter-chatter, and all the excitement of anticipation will again make the house a “home”.
While they’re home, I hope to be able to take advantage of and enjoy the activities that Warwick, NY, has to offer. This quaint Village is all decked out for the Holidays, the shops and restaurants are bustling, there’s horse and buggy rides, carolers, and so much more. The Holiday spirit is stronger than ever, and one can feel it while walking the Village sidewalks, shopping in the local shops, and enjoying a hot Chai at a local Cafe. You always will feel welcome, not only during the Holidays, but anytime! If you’re not currently living in Warwick and have never been here before, take some time off and visit. You won’t be disappointed! December 9, 15, & 16 (11 a.m. – 4 p.m.) are dates to enjoy a free horse and buggy ride through downtown Warwick. Catch the buggy in front of Railroad Green on Railroad Avenue.
As busy as one gets during the Season of giving, let us not forget those less fortunate. Those that have suffered losses from Hurricane Sandy, those that have lost jobs and are struggling to put food on their family’s table, those that have suffered loss to War. Remember that donations to the local food pantry are needed, not only during the Holiday Season, but all year through.
To all my family, friends, neighbors, colleagues, customers, and clients – Happy Holidays to all!
