The Greatest Gift

On Christmas Eve, let us all take a moment to reflect on what is really important this holiday before the presents are ripped open, the turkey is cooked and the hours spent with family gets too much resulting in arguments of frustration  The essence of Christmas gets forgotten about under the mountains of wrapping paper and brussel sprouts. But we shouldn't forget that Christmas is a celebration- not necessarily of Christ but of the very beauty of life and what we get to have as humans...

Family. Friends. Happiness. Love. Health. And bright futures where we could be anything we ever wish to be if we work hard enough to achieve.

As long as we remember to take a backseat from potential disappointment that what you get wasn't what you wanted, or anger at a family member who might've taken a joke/banter too far and look at how lucky we all are the have people around us who love us to celebrate such a time with. No matter how much you're going through, we must remember that we are lucky to be alive, lucky to have people who love us and lucky to be able to receive gifts.

Remember, this Christmas we will all have been given the greatest and most important gift of all- we will have been given the gift of life.

Make sure the people in your life know how special they are to you. Christmas is about family and love- not just presents and turkey.

I hope you all have a marvellous Christmas Eve and go to sleep early so Father Christmas can deliver your presents if you've been good :)

All my love xxx
