Christmas Cards

The tradition of sending Christmas started back in 1843 in England, when a nobleman was too busy to send notes to his family and friends to wish them Merry Christmas so he hired a local artist to paint some ready-made cards to send out to them. 

Now almost everything has gone digital and everyone sends texts,emails and uses social media to send wishes. In this post, I am sharing a few reasons why it's nice to send Christmas cards.

Personal Greeting 
Sending out a Christmas card is a more personal way of greeting everyone you care for and it implies a deep love that can't be expressed online.With texts and social media posts, you can wish happy holiday to many people at once, but they are impersonal and some people love to receive a card in the mail. They appreciate that you took the time to sit down and actually write a message to them. 


Update a family photo
Some people design their own card with a family photo on the  front. Families are constantly growing and you can use  this opportunity to take some new portraits for yourself and to send out to your family  and friends who you may not get to see during Christmas.Grandparents, uncles, aunts cousins and friends love  to see new photos of your beautiful family, how much your children have grown, and new additions such as partners and babies. 

Gratitude
Writing and sending out a Christmas card will remind you of the family and friends you have been blessed  with and how thankful you can be everyday for the amazing people in your life. 


Family Bonding 
Your family can spend quality time and work together on creating and sending out Christmas cards. Turn on the best Christmas music, get some treats snack on and start. Make an assembly line where each person has a task such as stuffing an envelope with the card,sealing it and write the names and/or addresses.

Welcome back Justice Crew!

                                           Photo credit to @Justicecrewofficial Instagram Justice Crew are a dance and music group who won Australia's Got Talent in 2010 and went on to release many amazing songs including number one hits Boom Boom and Que Sera . After their tour in 2019, they took a long break and now they are back!  I have been a huge fan of them since the beginning and have been to a lot of their shows, so when they announced they were performing a show in February, of course I was excited and attended with my friend. There was a huge crowd there to see them, which surprised a few people, including maybe the guys themselves. After six years, they probably felt rusty, but they were actually amazing as always. It was so cool to see them on stage again and here all the hit songs the number ones and  Everybody. It's so crazy how even now, after six year...

Light in the Darkness

  We all carry a little darkness. Moments we don’t speak of. Storms We face. Shadows we walk through quietly.   But that doesn’t mean our light is gone.   Even on heavy days, when it feels like someone has punched us in the chest, or everything feels hopeless. We work. We care. We laugh. We create. We shine, like the brightest star in the sky.   No matter what happens today – even if it’s messy, or lonely, or full of tears - The sun will rise in the morning. Like it always does. Like we always do.   Because light doesn’t have to shout. Sometimes it just keeps showing up, quietly. One bright beam at a time.

Virtual Stop #1: Lymington - A Seaside Gem Discovered by Chance

Welcome to my virtual travel series, where I explore beautiful corners of the world without leaving my bed. Inspired by TikTok livestreamers and walking tour videos, these posts capture what I see, feel and learn as I journey through new places from afar.  I wasn't planning to visit Lymington - not virtually, not in any way. I had never heard of it before watching my favorite singing buskers livestream from the quaint little town in the UK and now I'm captivated. The charm of Lymington unfolded before my eyes: Cobbled pathways, rows of boats bobbing gently at the marina and friendly locals to stop and enjoy the music. I experienced it from my bed.  There is something so welcoming about the town, The people passing by weren't just polite - they were supportive. Some clapped, others left kind words or a few coins, and a few even stayed for songs. There are three ladies who go often to support the guys. They have all been following them on TikTok for a while and met each other...
