This year will be a very different Christmas for most people. Either alone, isolated or unable to visit family and friends, they may have lost loved ones or find themselves without the means to put together a Christmas because of loss of jobs.
We will treat it as a quiet, peaceful time. Time to reflect, breathe and take stock of the many things we can be grateful for. We will zoom on Christmas day with my mum while she is spending Christmas day at my brothers. Hubby will pop over to see his own dad for half an hour while I prepare my first Vegan Christmas dinner!
If the weather is kind we will go for some walks, we will catch up on reading and some movie watching, maybe I might even tidy my workroom ready for some crafting in the new year!
Christmas is not cancelled. It is just a different Christmas and sometimes change is good. We might stop more often and look around us, take in what this time means to us. It may make us appreciate things more, it may also bring out the kindness in us.
I have been busy. I made some spiced orange gin, and printed some wrapping paper and labels, still trying to keep away from the glitter and gloss that is hard to recycle. I've made jingle sticks for us and the neighbours to jingle on Christmas eve at 6pm.
So with not many walks...weather has been horrible, grey, wet and cold.
