Christmas is a time that can bring up all kinds of emotions, all kinds of feelings and thoughts.

It can be a wonderful time full of magic, joy and wonder.

It can be a difficult time full of sadness, worry and loneliness.

And it can be everything in between.

Like with everything in life, we all feel differently about Christmas. And rightly so. What you enjoy and like is totally up to you. You don’t ‘need’ to do anything just because you feel you ‘should’ or because someone else is.

Your Christmas is exactly that … yours. How you and your family want it to be.

If you like all the trimmings and it doesn’t cause strain … go for it.

If you don’t like all the trimmings and it does cause strain … then don’t go for it. Do what feels right with your people.

Because that’s all that matters.

The people.

It’s all about the people you love. Being with them … in person, on phone, online .. however you can manage.

Because that’s all that matters.

The people.

Some of us love all the trimmings … but we would give it up in a heartbeat to have all our people.

Because that’s all that matters.

And you really know it and feel it when they’re gone.

Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise … Your Christmas, Your Way, with Your People.
