Hi there,<\/p>\n

Two nights ago, I experienced one of those moments that makes you pause and think,\u00a0\u201cThis. This right here is what life is all about.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0It was nothing extravagant or over-the-top. In fact, it was incredibly simple. But it was\u00a0magical.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how it went down.<\/p>\n

My kids and I had just finished decorating the\u00a0Christmas tree.<\/strong>\u00a0The kind of decorating where you start off meticulously placing ornaments and, by the end, you\u2019re just tossing tinsel at the tree and hoping for the best. The lights were twinkling, candles were glowing, and the whole house smelled like cinnamon and nostalgia.<\/p>\n

We had family over, and we ordered some delicious Georgian food. (Side note: If you\u2019ve never had\u00a0khachapuri<\/strong>, stop what you\u2019re doing and Google the nearest Georgian restaurant. Thank me later.) After dinner, we all settled in to watch\u00a0Red One<\/em>, the new Dwayne Johnson movie.<\/p>\n

Now, let\u2019s talk about\u00a0Red One<\/em>. To call it\u00a0\u201cnot great\u201d<\/em>\u00a0would be a kindness. Dwayne, if you\u2019re reading this, you know I love you, but\u2026 Santa Claus gets kidnapped? Really? Even my 11-year-old was side-eying the plot. But here\u2019s the thing: the movie wasn\u2019t the point.<\/p>\n
