This is the season of light. Thanksgiving is past. We’ve already done our Black Friday binge-shopping for the year.
I see more trees being put up this weekend than I ever remember being put up so soon in the season in previous years. The decorations, trees, and lights inspire me to start decorating our own home.
But in this season of sparkling tinsel and twinkling lights, there’s a darker side we don’t always think about, or want to. For many people, this season of togetherness, generosity, and family presents a viciously painful battle.
