Christmas is coming, faster than ever. I still need gifts for my family and friends. As always - I'm getting them the last day. Why? Because most of the people work today and the shops will be emptier than yesterday.
What should I get? I don't actually know and I never did. The most important thing is to give love so something lovely comes to my mind. When I get to the shops - things will come my way and appear in my sight. Things that I will probably buy.
And the wrapping paper - it's important too. You can't just give presents without wrapping them or putting them in a present box. More expenses as the holiday is getting closer. I don't really like to search for those presents because everything is very overpriced but I'm not that determined to build my own presents. I'll take what others have built.
Don't you worry about a thing is what I'm saying to myself right now. Every little thing will fall into the right place and holidays will be warm and cozy. If not - there will be another Christmas next year. And then the year after that.
Enjoy the time you have with yourself because after the Holidays end - you have to go to your job. You have to return to people and communication. Soak up the good from having the time with yourself. From the solitude of walking around and searching for presents.
Is this the time when you feel alone in the crowd? I don't think so. It's not a requirement obviously. What you see and how you see it - depends on your perspective. It depends on whether you expect something from the Holidays or just let it flow and enjoy what is happening. You let yourself grow with each moment of time spent with your family and friends. You grow wiser and you grow closer.
Remember - we are all one family. Be kind and gentle to others. Be grateful for the opportunity to celebrate in peace. Encourage random people with pleasant words and compliments. Help each other out. It's an act of kindness that makes the real celebration. I'm happy when I see others smile. Lets make each other happy and love our world!
Happy Christmas, my lovely Steemit family!
