It’s hard to believe that the holiday season is already upon us! All of a sudden there’s Christmas lights everywhere I turn and I’m scrambling to find last-minute gifts for everyone, but I’m certainly not complaining. As much as I love sunshine, December is without a doubt one of my favorite months of the year. Everyone’s a little friendlier, a little more gracious with each other, a little more generous, and a little more thoughtful – and everything looks better with a little bit of twinkle lights.
But these few weeks are also extremely hectic, trying to get ready for the holidays and wrap up all those work-related to-do’s for the year before some much-needed time off. I feel like I’ve gotten caught up in the stress of the day to day recently, and I have to say it’s definitely taken away from the magic of the season! So I’m trying to also use this as a time to step back and really feel grateful for all that I have. Life is a gift, my friends and family are a gift, this community is a gift, my job is a gift. There’s lots to look forward to this month – seeing loved ones, giving gifts, enjoying cozy days and time off from work, and so much more. Yes, there’s pressure to get it all done, but I want to make sure I also truly ENJOY this season and spread some holiday cheer where I can.
From Christmas movie watching to holiday cookie making to present wrapping to hot cocoa sipping, I hope you’re able to enjoy a little bit of the magic this month. Happy holidays from me to you – let’s all spread a little light this season! ☼
