It's easy to get so caught up in the craziness of Christmas that you forget what's important to you.
For some, Christmas is about the religious festival. For others, it's about spending time with family and friends. For many, it can be a time of loneliness as it feels as though the rest of the world is partying when you feel you have nothing to celebrate.
I think it's a chance to take stock, to think about what's happened since you last celebrated Christmas and decide if you're happy with how the year has panned out.
Have you appreciated those around you? Been grateful that you have loved ones who share your world? Have you given back some of the joy and luck you've received?
Or have you been too caught up the everyday hassles of work and home life?
I know I am very lucky that I have writing as my way of escaping the frustrations of life. I can enter a different world and the pressures of the everyday are forgotten. Once the pressure has dissipated, I seem to be more aware of how lucky I am, to be blessed with a partner, family and friends who are there for me.
I hope you get the chance to take five minutes out of your busy December schedule to count your blessings and be thankful for what you have.
Wishing you all a very happy and peaceful Christmas.
