𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝟖: Want to make this Christmas Day unforgettable? Here are 4 ways to do it: Christmas has a way of surprising us. Like pausing The Polar Express to make hot chocolate before the famous scene—chocolate everywhere, laughter echoing, and no one caring about the mess. It’s these moments that stick with us, not the perfect plans. Make today extraordinary with these simple actions: 𝟏. 𝐏𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞 ⮑ Before dinner, go around and share a favorite moment from 2024. ⮑ Ask questions and expand before moving to the next person. ⮑ Reflecting together brings warmth and meaning. 𝟐. 𝐁𝐞 𝐂𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 ⮑ Ask someone a question you’ve never asked before. ⮑ Maybe their favorite holiday tradition or lesson they learned this year. ⮑ These conversations deepen connections. 𝟑. 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐚 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 ⮑ Bake cookies, play a board game, or watch a classic movie together. ⮑ It’s not about what you do; it’s about doing it together. 𝟒. 𝐔𝐧𝐩𝐥𝐮𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐁𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭 ⮑ Turn off distractions. ⮑ Watch the joy unfold. ⮑ Let the unfinished tasks wait. Merry Christmas to all who celebrate. May today be filled with love, laughter, and memories that last forever. What is a gift of gratitude you received this Christmas? #Christmas #Reflection #Mindfulness

The Magic of Christmas Eve It’s here, Christmas Eve, my most favourite time of the year. There’s something about this night that feels different. The world seems softer, time feels slower, and everything feels a little more magical. It’s a night where love feels stronger, memories feel closer, and hope feels endless. No matter what you have, where you are, or who is with you, tonight is a chance to pause, to step away from the rush of life and just be. Be present. Be grateful. Be filled with the wonder that only Christmas can bring. Think about the moments that made you smile this year, the people who stood by you, and the memories you’ll carry forever. Those are the gifts that, matter most, the ones you can’t wrap but feel deeply in your heart. So let the lights twinkle, let the laughter flow, and let the warmth of this season surround you. Spread kindness wherever you go. Share love like it’s endless. And don’t be afraid to believe in a little Christmas magic, because it’s real, and tonight is the perfect night to feel it. Changes can wait. But loved ones and memories can’t. Merry Christmas Eve,may your night be full of love, light, and moments you’ll always remember. #ChristmasEveMagic #MerryChristmasEve #ChristmasWonder #ChristmasFeeling #SpreadTheLove #ChristmasJoy #MemoriesMatter #BePresent #LoveAndMagic #ChristmasSpirit #CherishTheMoment #FestiveVibes #SeasonOfGiving #HolidayHeart #MakeMemories #ChristmasCountdown #HeartfeltMoments #TisTheSeason #ChristmasWishes #ChristmasReflections #BelieveInMagic

🎄 "The Gift of Connection This Christmas" 💕 The holidays are a beautiful time to celebrate love, togetherness, and the relationships that mean the most to us. But amidst the hustle and bustle, it’s easy to lose sight of what truly matters: connection. 🌟 This Christmas, Let’s Focus on Giving More Than Gifts: 🎁 Give Your Presence: Put down the phone, step away from distractions, and give someone your undivided attention. The best gift is your time. 🎁 Speak Words That Warm the Heart: A kind word, a heartfelt thank-you, or an expression of love can strengthen bonds in powerful ways. 🎁 Create Meaningful Moments: Whether it’s baking cookies, taking a snowy walk, or sharing a cozy meal, the memories we make together last far longer than anything wrapped under the tree. 🎄💖 Relationships are like Christmas lights—they shine the brightest when we tend to each one with care. 🌟 Reflection: Who in your life could use a little extra love and connection this season? Let’s make it a holiday to remember by showing up for each other in the most meaningful ways. "Tag someone who lights up your life and tell them why they mean so much to you this Christmas. Let’s spread love and joy together! ❤️🎄 #christmasconnections #dreamreceive #dreamgive #wellness #kindness #connections #lightuplife #spreadlovejoy #together #relationships #christmas #loveandtrust #truth #joy

On the 2nd day of Christmas Magic, you start living from the INSIDE OUT! We are all conditioned to live life according to the results that show up in our personal and professional lives. We let our external circumstances drive how we feel and that then drives our behaviour. And guess what? That then drives our results! For example, someone gives you a poor performance appraisal or report card, or your sales report isn't great, or a colleague or prospect says something that doesn't feel so good, or you hop on the scale to see that you haven't released any weight. With any of those we tend to feel frustrated or down on ourselves. Am I right? OK well here's the beautiful truth. Your results up till and including today have no bearing on your future because your results or circumstances have nothing to do with the talent and capability that lies within you. YAY!!!! You must learn NOT to give power away to your external circumstances but rather to look inside for all that you are capable of and more. You are truly capable of anything and as you bring more of that talent to the surface, you will experience the magic that is you! Learning to live from the Inside Out instead of feeling like a plaything of our environment, is one of the most powerful and EMPOWERING feelings in the world. It's your time. So take the time this Christmas season to reflect on all that you are AND catch yourself if you react to a negative circumstance and choose to respond from your inner strength. You can! It's a choice! And it all starts with AWARENESS, and the acceptance that YOU KNOW you have way more and way better within. Celebrate that! Focus on that! Start taking control! No more feeling bad about past results! Today, and every day is the first day of the rest of your life!! Have a magical day!

🎄 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗺𝗮𝘀 𝗦𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗶𝘁 𝗗𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗺𝗮 🎄 I adore Christmas—the ambiance, the traditions, the music. You’ve probably seen me write about this before. Yet, sometimes, that cherished holiday spirit feels... elusive. The busier the year, the harder it becomes to embrace the season's joy. And let’s face it—it shouldn’t be hard, should it? This year, it was a fleeting moment in the car, singing my Christmas song of all time (Do They Know It’s Christmas?) with a loved one, that sparked the first glimmer of festive magic. It came later in the season than I’d hoped, but I cherish every one of those small moments. And the ultimate catalyst? Handwriting Christmas cards. 📬 For over two decades, I’ve kept this tradition alive. Yes, it can feel like another task on an endless to-do list, but it’s a fulfilling one. Taking the time to express love and gratitude for the amazing people in my life always feels worth it. And, as I’ve realized, it serves at least three powerful purposes: 1️⃣ 𝗚𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗳𝗲𝗹𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗸𝘀 to wonderful people. 2️⃣ 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲 for shared moments and achievements. 3️⃣ 𝗥𝗲𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗺𝗮𝘀 𝘃𝗶𝗯𝗲 and festive spirit. If you need the 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗸 to listen to while writing your Christmas cards or doing other Christmas spirit–invoking activities, check out my personal playlist recommendation in the first comment below! 🎶 Do you have a similar tradition? Or other ways you reconnect with the holiday spirit amidst the chaos? Let’s share and inspire each other! 🎅✨ #ChristmasTraditions #HandwrittenCards #HolidaySpirit #Gratitude #PersonalGrowth

Christmas is like a magnifying glass that amplifies our emotions. And it reminds us how precious our relationships are. Love feels stronger. Gratitude, deeper. But for some, sadness and loneliness can feel overwhelming. When I started working on the Scripor Alphabet. Tactile Colors for the Blind, I was alone. I knew the journey would be hard. But I always told myself: a better world begins with the first step. Optimism? It doesn’t mean ignoring challenges. It means seeing beyond them. Finding joy in what you have, even if things aren’t perfect. If this season feels heavy, remember: Extraordinary creations are born from the most challenging moments. I started with a dream: To bring color into the world of those who cannot see it. Today, that dream has become a reality. A reality that brightens many lives and builds bridges where others saw walls. Here’s what I’ve learned: Human connections are what gives life its meaning! This Christmas, let’s celebrate the moments that unite us: A smile. A hug. A message. Simple gestures that amplify goodness. Choose to forgive. Choose to spread joy. Choose gratitude. Because in the end, optimism is about choosing what we amplify. So, why not amplify goodness? Happy holidays to everyone dedicated to making the world a better place!

Christmas Eve Reflections: Embrace the Joy, Release the Stress 💜💚 It’s Christmas Eve, a day filled with anticipation, traditions, and, for many of us, a fair bit of stress as we try to make everything “just right.” But I want to gently remind you that perfect isn’t what makes this time of year special. Connection, joy, and small moments of peace are what truly matter. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, take a moment to breathe. Reflect on the year you’ve had, the challenges you’ve faced, the strength you’ve shown, and the growth you’ve achieved. You deserve to enjoy this season, not just as a giver or a planner, but as you. Remember, it’s okay to say “no” to things that drain you and “yes” to things that fill your cup. Christmas isn’t about ticking every box; it’s about creating memories, messy, imperfect, wonderful memories. So, whether your day tomorrow is filled with family, friends, or a quiet moment for yourself, I hope you can find a little sparkle of joy in it. Be kind to yourself. You’ve done enough; you are enough. Wishing you all a Christmas filled with moments of happiness, however small they might feel. Let’s let go of perfection and embrace the magic of good enough. Much love, Jo 💜💚

This Christmas season, let the gift of self-love, peace, and gratitude be the foundation of everything you do. True joy begins from within and radiates outward. 🎄✨ It’s Christmas week! ✨🎄 The holidays often come with so many expectations—perfect gatherings, perfect meals, perfect moments. But here’s the truth: Perfection isn’t the goal, presence is. Take a moment today to pause. Breathe in the love around you. Appreciate the little moments—the warm conversations, the quiet reflections. 🫶 This week, I challenge you: • Say no to anything that drains your energy. • Say yes to moments that refill your cup. • Be gentle with yourself and others. Because joy isn’t found in rushing or ticking boxes—it’s in those fleeting moments of stillness, laughter, and love. Drop a ❤️ in the comments if you’re committing to embracing true peace and gratitude this Christmas season.

💎 Christmas 🎄 time can feel overwhelming. We stress about cooking the perfect meal, buying the right gifts, and making everything look just right. But in all the chaos, it’s easy to forget the real heart of the holiday: spending time together in a warm and kind atmosphere. No one remembers the exact gifts years later, but they’ll always remember how you made them feel. If you shower people with presents but carry stress, frustration, or negativity, the magic of Christmas fades. Instead of stressing out, focus on what truly matters—being kind, present, and creating a space where everyone feels good. The perfect gift or meal doesn’t compare to the gift of your love and attention. Take a deep breath, let go of the pressure, and enjoy this time. Because when we look back, it’s the laughter, love, and connection we’ll cherish most. #ChristmasStress #HolidayCraziness #ChristmasJoy #BeKindThisChristmas #FamilyTime #HolidayReminders #ChristmasLove #SpreadKindness #NoStressHolidays #Togetherness #HolidaySpirit #MeaningfulMoments #ChristmasPresenceNotPresents #EnjoyTheSeason #KindnessMatters #CherishedMemories #ChristmasConnection #SimpleJoy #HappyHolidays #StressFreeChristmas
