Ending With Gratitude by 
@jhymi
I tried to calm myself from the sharp pain bursting from behind my eyes through my forehead and I said to myself, “Is this how I’m going to close the year?” But then I took some painkillers fifteen minutes ago and I talked through the process of writing with one of my people...

I don't know about you, but I one of the things I love about Christmas is the decorations. I try to make it a point to check out the city's various sparkles and shimmers in the evenings, taking a different route each time...
For both the good and bad, Cheers! by 
@jeclyn60
I'm grateful for the good and bad, it makes me stronger. Few days back I was down with health issues. I was blank for a few days, just me and my thoughts. Most people were enjoying their Christmas celebration but I was in one corner of my room wallowing in pain. That was when I realized that good health is underrated...
New Beginning, New Hope by 
@charinakim
I often compare my life with other people. They are more than me. Their lives are better, more prosperous, and everything feels easier. I saw posts from my friends who also had their families spend the New Year and Christmas holidays abroad and eat delicious food. They looked happy and do not seem to have any problems...

Firstly, 2023 is a year full of ups and downs for me and my family but being able to conquer makes my family a winner. A lot of things went other way round like I lost 3 of my friends to the cold hands of death and just for the year to round up, another bad news yesterday concerning my friend...
2023: YEAR IN REVIEW!! by 
@sundas.manzoor
January 2023, I was eagerly waiting for the exams as my cousin was getting married in February. At that time, my mom used to send me the pics to finalize my dresses and jewelry. That's interesting. Just give a wave of think that how social media drew us so closer. Without social media, everything would be finalize without my consent but now...
Thoughts on my life at Christmas 🤔🌲⏰️ by

As I grow older the meaning of Christmas has been transforming like my body, as a child it was my favorite time of the year, from the middle of the year I looked forward to it, I loved everything, the colored lights, the decorations, the joy of the people, the traditional food and sweets, the music, the new clothes and of course the gifts, everything was wonderful at Christmas...
My year-end rituals by 
@miriannalis
At home we were not inculcated with rituals, ceremonies or traditions to celebrate any particular holiday, beyond those we followed to perform the sacraments of the church, and at Christmas we were used to the customs of the place where we celebrated or the people we celebrated with...
THE START OF A BEGINNING - HELLO, 2024! by 
@supernova004
Sitting at the balcony of my apartment overlooking the road, watching people scream in excitement and shooting fireworks, I unconsciously delve into that feeling of reflection that is usually assumed in this season. I smile thinking of how far I have come. How much I have grown in such short time. I believe very much, now, that it takes just a few seconds fir one's life to change totally...
It is a new year by

I believe this holiday meets us well. It has ended as 2023 closes its chapter.
