Holistic - I Love Christmas

Though it’s hard to believe, we’ve rolled around to another Christmas, and I’m not sure if you’re like me, but I love Christmas. Not for the gift giving and extra stress it can bring but for the joy, hope and love it offers. 

I hope you encounter some Love Actually moments with family and friends this Christmas and that you enjoy this festive season with all its true reason. 

This wonderful time of year can no doubt be beautiful, but it can also be filled with memories of times gone by with family and friends who may no longer be around.

Therefore, feelings of loss and loneliness can also be common, so be sure to be gentle on yourself and others, as we all have different recollections and circumstances we must navigate. 

Also be sure to be intentional about your boundaries over the festive season, as we’re often subject to more family, friends or work gatherings than usual. Keep to pleasant, holiday conversations rather than any touchy topics. Holiday get-togethers are for making enjoyable memories, not confrontational exchanges. 

And stay sensitive during this jolly season by not engaging in too much social media. The “highlight posts or reels of others’ lives” on social media can cause unnecessary anxiety and envy during this festive season. Rather enjoy social media for its ease of communication, but don’t let it harm your life. 

To conclude, Christmas is about love and sharing that love with people and the community you care about. So, it’s truly the perfect time to be joyful and thankful that we get to appreciate this beautiful time of the year in one of the most wonderful places in the world. 

May love, peace and joy find their way to your home this joyous season. 

Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy 2025 to you and your family.

Blessings, 

Kerrie
