The holiday season is fully upon us. It’s the season of love, warmth, kindness, compassion, family, fun and food. There are so many things for us to be thankful for during this wonderful time of year. We get to spend extra time with family and friends, to teach our children the meaning of Christmas or Hanukkah, to experience the excitement of opening presents and the joy of giving and receiving. As much as we love this time of year, let’s face it, we also know that it can be exhausting, jam packed, and leave very little time for you.

Because we’re Moms too, we get it. We know and understand that even our most loyal readers will likely not have time to read what we have to write about during this holiday season. To honor this acknowledgement, we are taking a short break from our weekly Mom Day Monday posts from We’re Moms Too Contributors. We will be back on January 7th with new posts to virtually bond over our tales of Mom-hood. We are sure to have some interesting stories and entertaining posts to share after the holidays and hope to hear some of your stories shared with us.

Even though we won’t be posting, we still invite you to visit our Facebook page every Monday, because we believe that every Monday should still be Mom’s day. Each Monday, we’ll post a quick pick-me-up suggestion designed just for Moms to enjoy. Our weekly and daily deals will also be posted on our Facebook page and Twitter feed.

We invite you to take part in our “Thankful” campaign and to share with us what you are thankful for during this season.

Finally, several of our We’re Moms Too contributors will be answering the phones during this holiday season so if you reach one of us, be sure to say hello and let us know what you think of the posts.

“Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all the others” – said the ancient Roman Philosopher, Cicero. At Step2, we are very grateful for our wonderful staff, loyal customers, and wonderful home in Streetsboro, Ohio. During the holidays, we like to give thanks to those we admire and show our appreciation throughout our headquarters.

This holiday season, Step2 is participating in the American Red Cross’s Holiday Mail for Military Heroes. Our Military Heroes mean a great deal to Step2. It warms our hearts to let them know how much they mean to us, especially during this sentimental time of year.

Not only is Step2 sending words of encouragement to our brave soldiers but in order to get into the holiday spirit, we have put up two Thanksgiving trees. Our staff is able to write on orange pieces of paper, located near the trees and tell what they are grateful for then hang it on the tree. Here are some of the things we are grateful for:

What are you thankful for?

Here at Step2, we wish you a wonderful holiday season, may it be full of joy!
