100 years ago you may have been a shaman living in Siberia. Your religion would rely on tripping on Amanita Muscarita, the red-and-white mushroom with psychedelic properties.
Later your tradition was remade as Christmas and introduced to society as a time of giving. Only society didn't realize that it was nature giving us gifts. It was us who had the power to inspire others and show an example.
Nowadays Christmas has turned into a shop-fest. A commercial time. We've somehow lost the connection.

How to regain our connection?
It's inside of you - your love and your passion. Your care for yourself and the others. Your gratitude for every moment you have because the real gift of life is the present moment. That's why it's called present. You gotta enjoy it! Even if it's not what you wanted. It's because of those expectations we set - we become unhappy.
Don't expect. Let it swing you with all of its ups and downs and take in what you need at the moment. Right here and right now - you're full of love.
Enjoy this time with the people you care for. Even if it's only yourself. It's your time!
