I watched my neighbor’s children excitedly helping their parents decorate the porch, and it reminded me of the pure wonder I used to feel. We often lose that sense of magic as we grow older, replacing it with calculations of market rates and investment returns. Today, I am trying to see the world through their eyes again, finding the beauty in a simple clay lamp and a handful of sweets. I hope this festive season restores your sense of wonder and fills your life with unexpected delights.
