Have a Holly Jolly Christmas!

Hey everyone- it's the festive season! I must say it is a relief as well as something great to look forward to...

What does Christmas mean to you?

This season is perfect for showing people how much you care about them. Whether you choose to show this through physical gifts or give them a memorable experience, Christmas is a good excuse to go the extra mile. I hear about people's traditions for the holidays and I'm filled with a lot of joy; knowing that we all have the opportunity to bond with others. Christmas time boost creative thinking, which is great for those looking for inspiration -like myself hehe.

The buzz and atmosphere at this time of year are unlike any other occasion - people hastily shopping, some decorating their houses with bright lights and others bringing the festive tunes wherever they go. Many desire for it to be a 'white' Christmas but I must say that I prefer a 'warm' Christmas- What do you think? We all have different stories to tell and different version of events but what better chance than to exchange our thoughts and feelings with family and friends.

Let's not forget that some may feel lonely at this time or struggle to enjoy the experiences. I hope you take it upon yourself to offer a helping hand because you can have a positive impact and make a difference. Trust me when I say doing a good deed is a reward that brings you so much peace and fulfilment.

To answer my own question, Christmas is a time to wind down and de-stress from the hard work that has been put in throughout the year. And what better way than to take time to spend it with people you love. I always catch myself doing reflection during this season, evaluating my journey throughout the year and more importantly how I have behaved towards myself and others. I'm filled with gratitude each year because I know the struggles and I've also felt very blessed. I try my best to be happy and do little things that make me feel good as well as encouraging others to feel happy too. I typically like intimate gatherings, feasting, dancing and celebrating the beauty of life. So... What does Christmas mean to you?

I hope that you extend your kindness and love to the people around you. Find joy in celebrating Christmas differently and also safely. Leave a comment below on what your plans are for this season. Have a great one... until next time- Ludel.
