The smell of pine from the freshly cut christmas tree spreads throughout the apartment. We hung up multi-colored lights all around; illuminating our white walled space. bringing in the christmas spirit into our safe space brings a different kind of joy into my life. All year long I wait for this season to arrive. It’s not that i solely wait for christmas because of the anticipation of receiving presents, but it’s mainly because of the delight that this holiday brings to each and every person. No matter what you are feeling or where your head space is at, i believe christmas is all about giving and receiving love and appreciation in many different forms. family, friends, partners, fur babies.. there comes a moment where they can all be filled with the happiness that this holiday brings. At least I feel like I can tune out my negative thoughts and responsibilities during this specific season. Listening to classic Christmas songs, seeing people decorate and buy gifts for their loved ones brings me a different kind of happiness one way or another.
This year has been very hard for everyone. I hope that this holiday you are doing the best you can to feel the Christmas spirit, make good intentions for the next year and finish the remainder of this hectic year strong and open minded.
Happy holidays, bloomers.
