It’s New Year’s Eve, and I am ready to leave 2025 behind. For many, it wasn’t a good year. I don’t know what 2026 will bring, but I am not holding out hope. Like anything in life, we have to see what will unfold. Let’s have the best final day of this year possible. Peace and love, everyone.
OK, good people, it is the last Monday of 2025. Many of us are returning to work to finish out the year, hopefully on a positive note. Let’s hope it will be a good one for all of us. Peace and love to you all today.
It’s hard to believe it’s the last few days of 2025. On Thursday, we welcome a brand-new year, 2026. To be honest, I have not given 2026 a great deal of thought, I am afraid to considering how 2025 has gone. Like any new year, there is a lot of mystery and anxiety. We will have to see how it goes. I will say I have plenty of uncertainty. How are you feeling about things as we turn the page and begin a new story?
I will have to say many want to hold onto a past that isn’t working out too well for some. The future needs to come and in a hurry.
Today begins the celebration of Kwanzaa. It is an annual celebration of African-American culture from December 26 to January 1. It was created by activist Maulana Karenga based on African harvest festival traditions from various parts of West, East, and Southeast Africa. Peace to all who celebrate.
Christmas Day 2025 for me was a good one, being with my family. I am appreciative of everything I was given. We spent time together eating, exchanging gifts, and enjoying the day. It was a warm day, with temperatures that felt more like early spring.
Today, the missus and I had the day off. We spent it watching a marathon of Christmas movies. Scrooge, It’s A Wonderful Life, and White Christmas. Later on we will dive into Stranger Things.
We have seen all of these movies this holiday season. I would say my favorite is National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, which is what we watch first every year.
To all who are celebrating Boxing Day, may it be one of good tidings, giving to those in need and peace.
To you my blogging friends and community I wish you a Merry Christmas. May this be the best day possible for all. Thank you for following me. Peace and love to you all
