 As children around the world go to bed this Christmas Eve they leave cookies and cocoa for Santa as a treat for him, who, they hope, will, sometime during the night, fill their stocking and leave presents galore.

 Knowing that I have had a successful career in accounting and finance, I have often been asked to mentor children of employees, neighbors and friends who will be graduating within a year, or who have just recently graduated, with majors in accounting about career paths in the field of accounting.

 Late Christmas Eve... that magical moment in time when children around the world go to bed excited and dream about Santa. That moment in time that radiates deep into our inner soul and transcends the silence of the night into hope, joy and peace on earth.

 I began writing this blog with the intention of addressing making holiday memories. I was going to write about attending a play with your family (The Nutcracker or Messiah & Bach), or attending a neighborhood tree lighting ceremony, or if your truly daring, to go caroling.

 It's the celebrating time of year, which means we'll all be inclined to enjoy an adult beverage from time to time. I like to add a bit of flavor to my drinks, so Sippity® hot cocoa mixes make the perfect compliment.
