I hope you have all had a wonderful christmas day and you are all feeling happy, full of food and ready for bed.
Ive never been the biggest fan of christmas, i love getting everyone together and having a day spending time with family but i do often feel like a couped up chicken!
So the question is whats more important, presents or presence?
I guess christmas is a time where we remember people who arent here any more whether they have passed away or just moved on.
Alot of people I know tend to over spend and think that the bigger/better the present, the more they mean to the person who gave them the gift. I've never really been like that. As I have mentioned before, I like to get lovely gifts that my friends would appreciate, and I am generally appreciative of anything i am given big or small, expensive or cheap.
This year one of my favourite gifts is a heartshaped hanging decoration with the words "Do what makes your heart smile" written on it. Things like this help to remind me that I have choices, I can do all the things that make my heart smile with hardwork and determination.
Another gift i loved was a book called 365 days of happiness. Its full of ideas+quotes and just flicking through it seems to brighten my mood. I cant help thinking that my friends think im miserable but i really do love these little things!
I hope that santa was good to you and that you got to spend the day with your lovely friends and family, feel the love and be grateful, gratitude is a really good way of making you and someone else really happy xx
