I wish you a good Christmas with your family. If it is not possible to be with family, then I hope you will enjoy the spirit of the season in whatever circumstances you find yourself.
For those with good incomes, be glad for what you have and perhaps share a bit with someone less fortunate. If you find yourself unemployed or with a job where the salary just won’t stretch far enough to meet basic necessities, I pray that circumstances will change for the better for you.
When we were raising our children, our gift giving at Christmas was modest. I had three basic tenets on Christmas gift giving. Each child should have three things: something I knew they wanted, something they would not expect, and at least one book. There probably was something new to wear and there might have been some small items or family gift such as a game. We did not have a lot of money, but I believe our children enjoyed our family Christmases. Except that one Christmas was very hard financially. It broke my heart at the time, so I can understand a bit of the struggle that some are having.
Wherever you are, whatever your circumstances, I wish you good health, enjoyment with family and friends, sufficient funds to provide for your family, peace of spirit and joy in your heart. To quote: “I wish you enough” in all areas of your life.
Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year to all.
