The magic of Christmas… might not be all that magical. At least not for me. I have never been a fan of the holiday hypocrisy: the forced cheer, the performative “joy,” and the obsession with buying mountains of gifts while completely skipping over the actual point of the holiday: Christ.
Somewhere along the way, the season got louder, flashier, and more chaotic… and people forgot to slow the fuck down. So here is your gentle (and slightly spicy) reminder: come back to yourself. Center. Ground. Breathe. And THEN go back out into the madness if you must.
And if you are wondering what my favorite holidays are around this time, here they are: Thanksgiving and New Year’s, because gratitude and fresh starts feel a whole lot more honest than wrapping paper and fake snow.
