I hope that this day is ok for everyone, even if you don’t celebrate Christmas.

Holidays are not always happy for people. Like for my mom. Ever since my grandfather passed away, she has never been the same. Any moment of joy becomes sadness because he isn’t here.

So I know a thing or two about holidays being about loss. Loss of people. Loss of experiences that we don’t have. Just loss.

People post a lot on Christmas. They are always with big smiles and with their families. I am fortunate to have an amazing family. But this time of year is also a reminder.

So for people that do not have positive associations with the holiday season, I hope you are doing ok. I wish for happy days ahead (or at least average days).

And for people that do, I hope it continues to be happy for you!

Always,

Anya
