Did you have a good Thanksgiving break? Holiday roundup - here's a list of holiday posts to get you through the season.I loved the time with our sons who met us at Grandpa’s house. We feasted on tasty turkey and dressing—why don’t we eat dressing the rest of the year?! And Gary even made his first ever pie—Derby pecan pie–inspired by a recent visit to his Kentucky cousins.

Now it’s Christmastime! Before we drove out of Grandpa’s neighborhood to head home, we were already rocking to some of our favorite Christmas music—anything from “Feliz Navidad” to Handel’s Messiah, “Unto us a Child is Born.”

After twelve hours on the road, we finally rolled into our neighborhood. (Don’t worry, we didn’t listen to Christmas music the whole time.) The neighbors’ Christmas lights welcomed us home and reminded me that I’ve got some catching up to do.

Before I finish pulling out more red and green from the boxes, I want to share with you some posts I’ve written in past holiday seasons. Here’s a roundup of posts that range from getting through the holidays when your heart feels tender to why you shouldn’t begrudge those extra holiday pounds.

Holidays can be joyful. But they can also be difficult. Here are a couple of posts for the tender hearts this season…
