Helloooo,
Imagine that helloooo as a coughing and spluttering one with a slight loss of voice and voila we are on the same page. Having a cough is so annoying, I don't have time to have a cough! But I have wrapped my last presents today (I've put it off for a while as I hate wrapping). Very nearly there, a couple more shifts to do and then I'll be driving home for Christmas...sing it.
Anyway, I decided that as we are pushing to the final stretch in the run up to Christmas, that I would post a somewhat reminder to people. For many people, Christmas can mean a lot of things whether it has a religious meaning or whether you aren't particularly religious. We all have our own reasons for enjoying Christmas or hating Christmas, whichever you may be.
I personally feel that Christmas isn't about huge gifts, if you want to spoil someone then go ahead but alternatively you can also completely spoil them. It's up to you. I appreciate every gift I receive at Christmas, just like I appreciate every card and everything that just shows someone has thought of you. If someone gifts you something that is handmade, then the odds are that has been made with so much thought and love and I know I'd be over the moon, and some people don't want handmade gifts for whatever reason but at least show some element of being grateful. They've worked so hard on that for you to love it, don't be rude about it.
I also want to remind you that some parents can afford to spoil their children, others can't, and these other parents really struggle trying to put presents under the tree but manage a few. Neither of these examples alter which one of you is the better parent, there isn't one. You're equal, you're both trying to give your children the best you can provide and for that you're incredible.
For some people, Christmas is another day. Whether this is because they have alternate religious beliefs, they just don't like Christmas or for whatever other personal reason this may be then respect it. I may be a full Christmas elf but even I can tone it down a bit when it comes to trying to make someones life a bit better. So even though they can't avoid the lights, songs and many Christmas jumpers that I've seen recently just practice a bit of kindness.
Whatever other thing you find relevant to remember then share it around and let's make Christmas for everyone, those celebrating and those not.
Until tomorrow,
