It could not have been a more deliciously perfect gift. Right there on the very first page it stated so clearly & directly exactly what has been quietly percolating in the depths of my being……..‘We don’t have to hurry through Christmas.’

Today as I opened the gift my mother had sent for me there it was, this wonderfully perfect-for-right-now affirming statement, that confirmed what appeals so very much to my heart & soul currently.

It is perfectly right, it is perfectly okay, to be looking to embrace this adventure of exploring, for a greater length of time, all things wonderfully Christmas as I head into the new year ahead!

Will some folk think I have perhaps become a crazy Christmas lady? Possibly.

Does it worry me? Nope, not in the slightest.

I am delighted, I am thrilled at the prospect of holding on to the joys of Christmas for as long as I want to, and in fact perhaps need to. The sense of anticipation & excitement that is starting to percolate is a balm to my soul, after the hardship & challenges of the last two years.

I want fun. I want joy. I need fun. I need joy.

Christmas and the joys that so often happily surround it, appeal very much as a fun & interesting focus to take onboard heading into 2022 for my somewhat weary soul.

365 days of Christmas? 365 blogposts all potentially focused on keeping the joy of Christmas part & parcel of my normal everyday life?

Great! Let’s do it, let’s make it happen I say!

Let’s launch out into the year ahead with sparkly fairy lights still glistening out on the patio & happy, joyful Christmas carols being still kept on the audio playlist in the car!

Making the time, taking the time, to pause & truly listen to the music; making & taking the time to more so savor the twinkles of sparkly illuminating fairy lights in & around the house; taking time to go down memory lane to remember Christmas pasts; learning more about the ins & out of different cultural practices & traditions that are embraced across the globe……..

Yes! That sounds deliciously, wonderfully, perfectly appealing as I look out at a new year ahead!

I want fun & joy. I need greater measures of fun & joy and all things delightfully associated with Christmas feeding so much more thoroughly into the year ahead.
