Have you finished your shopping, put the decorations up, bought the outfit for the Christmas parties, wrapped the gifts, planned the best Christmas dinner ever........ stop sit down and pause for a moment....
Christmas is just a few days away - and on the rare occasion I enter the town or shopping centres I want to hastily retreat. The topic of conversation on everyone's lips is "are you ready for Christmas?" .... Have you ever stopped to ponder all of this ..... why is the world so caught up in the manic stress of preparing for a perfect day to arrive?
When I leave a shop in December, the last words that pass my lips are "have a lovely Christmas" it always amazes me how shocked the store attendant is to receive such a simple blessing ..... odd ..... is our world so caught up in the marketing hype of the season that the simple message is lost?
When I look at the trollies in the aisles filled with goodies I question .... are these people spending a years savings, or even next years earnings to deliver a really special day? Then I see so many people ..... ill before Christmas, or may be just after .... stressed from all the work that has gone into preparing for the big day to arrive..... eating all the food that has been processed for us to consume .....
I am going to ask you to take a moment from your really busy schedule .... it could be while you are settling down for bed, whilst you are in the shower or bath.... even when you are taking a moment on the loo ;0)...... just take a moment and please consider what is the gift of Christmas that has been brought to earth for all mankind ..... is it tinsel, is it big presents, is it the biggest family 3 course meal ever produced ....or is it something else .....
Christmas will arrive if you are ready or not, but if you are distracted with all the preparations you will miss the most precious gift there is..... the humble gift of peace and goodwill. of love and prosperity, of kindness and of hope.
So celebrate your Christmas with love and with joy, forgive yourself for what you do not have time to do, simplify your plans so you are not stressed, enjoy who you are and what YOU want to do for Christmas. Celebrate with people you want to be with.... take time to play with your children (for time is the greatest and most valuable gift anyone can give). Bless every one you see ..... and raise the vibration of our planet and your health by saying good wishes to every person you meet and every store attendant you are served by.... and in turn you will raise your own vibration, your own energy will increase and you will start to feel the true gift of the season,
Enjoy the season ..... Yule blessings to you
