I've been a little MIA at the moment guys and I do apologise! Trying to get back on to this little headspace (blog) as much as I can. First things first. I hope you are all in good health and have had a wonderful Christmas.
I wanted to just pop by and say hello to everyone and just put emphasis on the fact that Christmas is made by love, not by gifts. (Yes, maybe I have watched the Grinch too many times.) But year after year I find myself feeling underwhelmed by how much I have spent VS how much I actually have in my shopping bag. Life is becoming expensive but that is not what its about!
I love buying gifts and of course giving them to the loved ones around me. Family and friends alike. And I love buying them something they would love, use and/or wouldn't treat themselves to. However, I find nothing more indulgent than laughing and being cosy with a cup of hot chocolate with the ones who make my heart beat. Christmas dinner, a glass of bubbles and beautiful company.
The John Lewis advert 2015 #ManOnTheMoon really resonated with me this year..... I find that all over social media, as humans in a technological age we all love to brag about the things we have. Then there are some people who are alone. Imagine that, alone on Christmas. No giggles, maybe no gifts and just the echo of the TV to keep you company.
If I can say one thing, it would be just to be present in the presence of your loved ones. And if you can give to those with less than yourself, I'm sure that would be greatly appreciated. Even if it is just your time to sit with someone this festive season. Sprinkle love and kindles around like glitter. Please.
Until next time...
