For my readers who celebrate Christmas, I’m sure this year’s celebration looks different to the norm.
In most cases, there’ll be people missing from the table, and more time spent on Zoom.
And although I’m at risk of sounding trite, it’s no coincidence that the simplest ideas and exercises are often the most helpful, so here’s my challenge to you: take a look around you today, notice what’s different, notice what’s good, and tell someone about it.
For me, it’s spending Christmas with Maru for the first time in 7 years. We agreed that until we got married we’d still spend the holidays with our families in Argentina and New Zealand, but being with her is something I’m grateful for.
It’s my first London Christmas—meaning a roast indoors rather than a BBQ near the beach. I can deal with a cold Christmas!
It’s also my first time making ginger bread cookies.
There’s always something, we just need to look for it.
Merry Christmas!
