Christmas is upon us. The time of year where we once again delve into the world of memories, love, warmth, kindness, forgiveness, friendship and emotions. It's been a whole year of living and now everything seems to slow down. Trees are being erected, presents bought, holiday plans are being made and relatives and friends are coming together once again to spread the cheer. It is the time of love, the time of joy, the time of affection, the time of forgiveness, the time of laughter and the time where we remember those that we forgot, think of those that we have met, miss those that have been part of our everyday lives and praise those who stood by us and was true friends to the end. It is the time where we finally can say thank you, I love you, I miss you, I appreciate you, I need you, and where wishes of hope, love, warmth, fun, and laughter is spread freely, given away without expecting anything in return. Where hearts are either broken or mended, friendships made or destroyed, Family brought closer together or ripped apart. Were we can be human or animals. And where life can be given or taken away. The shopping lists grow large, credit cards are maxed out, debt is created and special presents are bought so that once a year we can give the gift of giving. Some people will work, others go on holiday. Yes ladies and gentlemen, I also have my list, I also have my travelling plans ready and will also be setting forth on an adventure. But we must never forget what Christmas is all about. It's not about gifts, it's not about money, it's not about pride, it's not about who can spend the most or buy the best. It's about spending something that we have only a limited amount of and that will never fade away. Something that will never break, never expire, never be taken for granted. That my friends are what it's about. A hug, a kiss, a word of kindness.....things that cannot be bought. The warmth of a family, the comfort of joy and laughter, the act of spending time together. Time that can run out quickly and unexpectedly. That is what it's all about.

This year I was fortunate to discover what it actually means. And I am looking forward to experience Christmas like never before. So as I end this blog, I wish everyone a very very merry Christmas. May your journey keep you safe, may you have an absolutely stunning holiday. And may we all come together again in the new year with hope, love, warmth, kindness, understanding and tolerance.

Merry Christmas all and a very happy new year. Blessed be!
