Celebrate the Real Gifts of the Holidays
With Christmas just 10 days away, the season of giving and gratitude is here. I want to wish you and yours the very best this holiday season.
The best gifts aren’t wrapped—they’re the special moments we create, share, and cherish together.
This photo, taken in December 2013, shows my family walking across frozen Bear Lake, Wisconsin—just 8 miles, as the crow flies, from our coffeehouse and roastery in Barronett, Wisconsin. It takes me back to a moment that embodies everything I love about the holidays: the crisp winter air, the laughter of loved ones, the quiet beauty of the season, and the hope of a brighter tomorrow. It’s a reminder of what truly matters—the real gifts of the holidays…
- Time spent with loved ones, filled with adventures and relaxation.
- Health to embrace the season with gratitude.
- A special connection that inspires us or reminds us of what truly matters.
- Slow mornings with a warm cup of coffee and no rush to be anywhere.
- A good night’s sleep after a day full of togetherness.
- Doing nothing and finding peace in those “boring” moments.
- Sharing coffee or bites that nourish the body, soul, and spirit.
A wise person once noted that “In the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years.” For me, the holidays are about living life to the fullest and creating moments—life’s true gifts.
As you create your own special moments this season, remember: Thursday, December 18 is the last day to order Coffee, Gear, Bites or Gifts for Christmas delivery.
