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.
Thank you for your kind words, Georgina, and for the blessing - I wish you and your loved ones the same. It sounds like you too found your way to celebrate the holidays, according to your beliefs, and that makes me happy for you :)
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.
Thank you Jan. I'm glad my words resonate. I'm sorry to hear that you've been ill. I hope you get well soon, and that you manage to find a way to show your love and appreciation for your loved ones, and at the same time honour your needs. Wishing you all the best.
“My winter celebrations are uncomplicated, tranquil, and soul-nourishing..” - A gorgeous winter intention and a lovely read, thank you. I hope you have a calm and cosy December.
