Not the Christmas I Imagined, But the One I Have

When I was younger, I imagined Christmas as something very specific. A full table, wrapped gifts, everyone together at the same time. This year, it doesn’t look like that at all. There’s no decorating, no schedule, and no pressure to make the day feel special. I spent the morning doing small things—washing dishes, answering messages, sitting by the window for a bit longer than usual. The world feels softer today, like it’s giving people permission to slow down. It’s strange how a day can feel meaningful without anything happening. Maybe that’s what I needed this year. Not celebration, not excitement—just a pause in the middle of everything else. This is what Christmas looks like for me right now. #ThisIsMyChristmas #MyChristmasMoment #HolidayReflection #LifeLately #EndOfYear
