The holidays are finally upon us, and the bustling commotion of the season is in full swing. As the new year approaches, we're taking time to reflect on both the old and the new. So curl up in your favorite sweater, cozy up to a warm winter fire, and raise a glass of your favorite holiday concoction to toast the New Year.
