Opening a book is like giving yourself a gift. When you pick up a book and open it, think of it as untying the imaginary bow of a wonderful gift that you’ve given to yourself. Books are containers for dreams, doorways to fantasies and pathways to learning about yourself, about new journeys, about learning new things, or escaping to or from whatever you are seeking to find or lose. This book is about holidays and celebration. It’s about seeing holidays through rose colored glasses in shades of pink and moving through all the colors of an artist’s pallet that contains the colors of the holidays we celebrate, or that we should celebrate. It’s about celebrating our ancestors, traditions and life. It is said that looking at the world through rose colored glasses can make even the most depressing frame of mind seem oh so much lighter and prettier. It’s amazing how different things can look when you refuse to see everything only in shades of gray. So think Pink and untie the imaginary bow on this book and give yourself a gift.
