Hello, MY SOULFUL READERS. Christmas usually provides a treasure trove of lovely memories, doesn’t it? For me, this is a season of nostalgia, innocence, and sheer enchantment. As a child, I recall writing a long letter to Santa, which I still keep to this day. It has a special place in my heart, almost like a precious treasure.
Our childhood Christmas memories would be incomplete without the Home Alone series, the charming Grinch (yes, he is!) and the hilarious Mr. Bean Christmas episode. These timeless favorites enhanced the joy of the holiday season!
The brisk winter air, the aroma of celebration, peaceful silent nights, and the warmth of family traditions have all contributed to the festive season’s distinct charm. My father would bring roses for Santa, and we’d go out to get sweet treats and savory muffins. My mother, on the other hand, filled the house with delightful fragrances while preparing festive delicacies.
I grew up with not one, but four real Christmas trees—huge ones! I still giggle over how we’d struggle to squeeze them into our bedrooms. These memories return to me like waves, leaving a pleasant sense of delight and longing.
BUT ENOUGH ABOUT ME—I’D LOVE TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR CHRISTMAS EXPERIENCES, TOO! IF YOU’RE WILLING TO SHARE, PLEASE DO. I’D LOVE TO HEAR ABOUT THE PARTICULAR INSTANCES THAT MAKE THIS SEASON SIGNIFICANT TO YOU.
Christmas Eve is very significant to me. Even though I am not a Christian, I make it a point to visit church on Holy Night. Last year, I couldn’t go since I was ill, but we still celebrated at home. And I’m not afraid to admit it: I don’t practice that religion, but I visit sacred sites of all cultures and faiths because I feel we are all part of the religion of mankind.
But I am digressing! Let’s back to the point of this article. In this article, I’ll share a variety of powerful affirmations and meditative activities to help you achieve peace, harmony, and positive transformation this season.
