I wish all my followers a wonderful festive time with family, friends and loved ones. No matter what ‘tag’ you wish to put on the season:

1. Merry Christmas
2. Happy Hanukkah
3. Joyous Kwanzaa
4. Yuletide Greetings
5. Happy holidays
6. Joyeux Noël
7. Feliz Navidad
8. Seasons Greetings

It is a time for everyone to connect with and enjoy the company of those people who are special to us.

I would also like to note that it is not always a ‘special’ time for some people and we should be conscious of their needs at this time of year (as at any other time). So if a friend or family member is grieving, allow them the ability to join in the celebrations if they wish but understand if they only want a one-on-one time. A full house of happy people might be too difficult to handle. Ask them what they would like or are comfortable with – that is your gift to them.
