BIG TIME BOOKMARKING THIS. This is so completely aligned with where I'm at with Christmas this year — I ate up every single word. Thank you for taking the time to compile this! I for one am very excited to start celebrating winter solstice this year.
This is where I'm at too. I went to a Christmas concert recently with an amazing vocal group. I looked at my husband and remarked how religious it all was. It just doesn't jive anymore with how I feel. I haven't put up a nativity for a couple years, and I'm still wondering what to put instead on our mantle. I love the ideas of new traditions, where we're all figuring out what to do for Christmas now that we aren't really Christians. And there's such a stigma in my own head about saying I'm not Christian, it's so weird. Lots to think about. Thanks for the suggestions. <3 :)
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
That is all.
Love you, Celeste. Thank you for these posts about Christmas. They were soooo validating and healing and cathartic.
Thank you Melenie ❤️❤️❤️
I love the celebrations of life and family in this post.

Aw thanks Maryn!! Me too!
Thank you, Celeste! 💜 Your musings inspire me! Ready to start new “traditions” more in line with my new season in life.
Woo-hoo! Me too Erika :)
