This year for Christmas, I gave my family the gift of heritage. Over this past year I have scanned thousands and thousands of photos and slides. My gift to my family was the digitized version of those images. Talk about heritage and history! There were images that brought back stories that had long since been forgotten. There were other images that many had never seen. It was especially rewarding for me to see the joy in the eyes of those who were looking at those images. Watching as they remembered and began talking of the stories that went along with them was the greatest gift that I received.
I also had the privilege to help others create their own gifts of heritage this holiday season, which was also a great gift to me. That is why I love what I do! and I love sharing that with others.
I would encourage you to take a few minutes this holiday season and write down a few of your traditions and special memories that you have had at this special time of year, and maybe even a few from the past.
