Hello. I loved this explanation of how you do Christmas and prefer a pared back, quiet, nature filled Christmas. I am a Christian so for me Christmas day is the day we celebrate Christ bringing His light into the world. Obviously no-one really knows the date of his birth so I use the 25th December to mark this celebration. The Winter Solstice is the start of my new year when I can feel spring is just around the corner, the daylight hours will get longer and nature will once again burst into life. I wish you and those you love a happy, healthy and blessed winter celebration and new year.

Cristina, thank you so much for your clarity of mind and for taking the time to create this post. Like you I love to celebrate the winter solstice, rejoicing in the natural world and looking forward to more light and spring.

Christmas will be different this year as I've been ill and need to pare it down to what I can manage. A difficult job when my family and friends have shown me so much love recently. Your words are food for thought, thanks again.
