This time of year, we gather around the table with loved ones, attend family events, and—just as so many holiday songs remind us—find ourselves talking about the “olden days of yore.” These moments are filled with laughter, reflection, and a shared sense of belonging. When we spend the holidays with those closest to us, there is usually a common thread running through the room: shared values, beliefs, and stories that have shaped who we are today.
That common thread is your legacy.
What Legacy Really Means
Legacy is much more than family; it is what has brought you to where you are today. Traditions, rituals, wisdom, lessons, stories and history all contribute to who you are. While many of these factors change as you grow, there will always be pieces of the past ingrained in your future. But, will your children and grandchildren remember these stories told this Christmas season as you sit around the fire and share traditions of your great grandparents, ancestors and friends.
Will the Stories Live On?
At some point you’ve probably said to yourself, “I need to write some of this down before I forget” but, as life has it, we get busy in the here and now. This holiday season make it a priority and goal that this year is going to be the year that you actually follow through with recording your past while those who are closest surround you to help.
