25 Holidays

The Holidays are a pretty good time of the year. I remember almost all of the Holiday seasons from my childhood really fondly. They were always one of the most magical times of the year, which I will always be grateful that I got to experience in the way that I did, I was very lucky with my childhood 

I also recognize that they can be one of the loneliest times for a lot of people, especially if you have experienced any kind of loss, as it is painful to think of the people that should be there, but aren’t. But as I grew older, I came to realise that the magic that I associate with the holidays is not something that just happened because the day itself was magical, it was something that was done because of the people I was with and the things that were done that day. 

Which is both good and bad news for the wider world. Bad news, because things become a lot less magical when you know how they work. Good news, because magic is real, it is simply the actions that are very much so in your control. The things that made the holidays so special can be done in other circumstances and with the people that are close to you right now. It means that the magic that you had experienced in your life can and should be remade. You can experience that magic again. So look forward to the holidays, they are a pretty sweet time.
