Today’s post is going to be a short one! I just wanted to check in to say ‘hi’ and ‘Merry Christmas!’ For many of us Christmas is a busy time of year (it certainly has been for me this year!). I know that I can tend to get caught up in the many traditions and celebrations that come with Christmas and forget to slow down and reflect on what Christmas really is. For me, Christmas is the celebration of the birth and life of Jesus – the incredible miracles that occurred so many years ago that still affect me personally today. It is so much more than the presents and the Christmas lights and lots of food. I try to keep reminding myself of this as Christmas comes around each year.
For many people, Christmas is also a time for family. This year I have been very blessed to spend time with all of my family – a somewhat rare occurrence these days as we all live interstate and covid has made this difficult! I have been able to go on walks and to the movies and just enjoy adventuring together. I am sure I will share more on some of my adventures in the coming weeks, but for now, I’m going to sign off and enjoy some well earned rest!
I hope you all have a wonderful New Year!
Until 2022,
Jo Xx
