When bubbles of festive cheer are bursting all around you and you feel like you are in a lead balloon, know that life won’t always be like this.
When the whole world sparkles in festive glitter and you feel cocooned in darkness, know that people can still see the inner glow in you that you are forgetting to see.
When hordes are celebrating the birth of the season and you are mourning loss, know that magic of time can help the passage of change of mind.
When shoppers will throw a lot of what they buy, and you struggle to buy what you need, know that many will offer to share if they are aware of your needs.
When the cheer of happy families seems to be all around and you feel all alone, know that there will always be room for you at someone’s table.
When unwanted gifts get tossed aside by ungrateful hearts and you would love the sentiment of a gift, appreciate the gratitude that you possess.
What if Christmas was less about things and more about people, maybe we could celebrate equally.
What if Christmas was all about us and less about me, maybe we could be surrounded by nothing but support.
What if Christmas was about giving what we need and not what we want, maybe we could all be as happy as each other.
What if Christmas made us stop instead of rush, maybe we would be fully present.
What if Christmas was about change and not about tradition, maybe we would grow in new ways.
What if Christmas was about lack so others could gain, maybe we would each have a similar Christmas.
If you fancy making a difference, surprise a stranger with a gift.
If you fancy making a difference, buy less and spend more time with a loved one.
If you fancy making a difference, buy less food for yourself and more for those in need.
If you fancy making a difference, sponsor a child in need that you may never even meet.
If you fancy making a difference, recharge your battery enough to be available to yourself and others in the year to come.
If you fancy making a difference, lead by example and be the change that you want to see in the world.
Whatever the when, what’s and ifs of Christmas bring you, I wish that your presence will be far more magical than any present can hold. Wishing you a different Christmas full of happiness and life changing gains.
