Christmas Countdown Day 3

Today’s countdown is about reflection and letting go of the things that we cannot change.  The holidays often bring out feelings in people that throughout the rest of the year are not felt. Often times these feelings come as a result of memories of a happier time in their lives with the wish that things would go back to the way they were when they were at their happiest time.   We can’t change the things that happened in our past and bring that former life to the present, but we can change the way we look at things in the future.

Today I read about a friend’s husband who always had the tradition that every day before bed they would kiss, hug, and tell each that they loved each other.

Who knew that December 1, 2017, would be the last time that she would ever hear those words, “I love you”, or feel the warmth of his hug, and the intimacy of his kiss? That is what happened when she awoke on December 2, he had passed away in his sleep. Often times we go to bed angry with our spouse, friends, family, and angry at the world.  Let us remember what it is that we are mad about and ask ourselves, is it worth the battle?

Christmas Countdown Day 2

Part of the fun of celebrating Christmas is wrapping the treasures that you have found for family and friends.

This year as you wrap your gifts think about each person that you have bought a gift for and take a moment to remember a special memory about that person; write that special memory on their Christmas card as an added gift.

As you wrap gifts, remember to wrap on a table or countertop so as not to strain your back and neck wrapping on the floor.

Christmas Countdown Day 1

As we begin the Christmas season let’s  take a moment to remember the traditions that we celebrated as we were children.  For some of us, it is the smell of baking cookies, the anticipation of picking out a tree and bringing it home to decorate, drinking hot cocoa and singing Christmas carols, and so much more.  As we fast forward to today we realize that the world is moving faster than it did in our childhood memories that made Christmas special for us and our families.  Today let’s take a vow of tradition to slow down, put aside all the rush of the commercialized Christmas celebrations, and take a moment to just spend time with those close to us.  If you don’t have a tradition, start one that fits your lifestyle, whether you are single, married,  divorced, widow, with or without kids, it is a time for you.   Merry Christmas!
