For many of us normally this is a time to buy nice gifts for your loved ones. It is time to visit Christmas markets and drink a cup of hot chocolate in the winter cold. To decorate the house to bring light inside. A time to watch Christmas movies and sing songs. Spending time with friends and family. To see each other again and have a nice time together.
But there are also people who don’t like the holiday season. They are alone or they miss the people and animals that have passed away. If you are in a situation like this, seeing joyful people who are spending time with their loved ones can be even more difficult.
Especially this year. This year everything is different. So will be Christmas. We are only allowed to spend it with a few loved ones. But that is ok. It is better to be with a few people or animals you love, than to be alone. And there are many of us that are alone this year. So please think about these people. Make a video call, send a gift or card and let them know that they are not alone. In this time being connected is even more important than ever. Take care of each other, as that is the most important thought of Christmas. Happy Holidays!
