The holidays are different this year with no large gatherings of family and friends, but that doesn’t mean the “different” can’t be good. It may not be the same but we certainly have a choice to make it special.
After all, doesn’t Christmas mean a little bit more?
Life is what you make it and your holidays are what you make it as well. You may not be cooking a large traditional dinner or having to set a table for 12, yet you can choose to make it special. Cook a smaller “non-traditional” dinner and eat it off your best china. Settle in on the couch for a day of binge watching all your favorite Christmas shows. Pour a cup of hot chocolate and FaceTime or Zoom your loved ones that can’t be with you.
It’s different but let’s call it a “different kind of special!” It’s a different kind of holiday and one I’m sure we’ll have some stories to share next year when we’re cooking the big, traditional dinner and setting a table for 12 or more.
“Maybe Christmas,” the Grinch thought, “doesn’t come from a store. What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more?” Dr. Seuss
Surely if the Grinch can change his perspective so can you!
It may be different this year, but you can still make it special.
You got this.
And you’re doing just fine!
Wishing you love and light,

I know that December can be a difficult month for some, whether it’s personal reasons or simply the pandemic itself coupled with the holidays that just aren’t as they have been, so I’ve decided to try and help as best I can!
Each day throughout December I will be posting an uplifting, positive quote or story. I’m hoping to help anyone who needs to feel better or less alone during these times.
And I’m doing it for all of you who follow me. Your support means the world to me and when I write, I write for all of you!
You’re not alone and you’re not the only one feeling the way that you do.
I’m here for you in whatever way that I can help and I know there are other people who are here for you as well.
After all, “we’re all in this together even though we have to do it apart.”
Wishing you love and light,
~Anne Dennish~
