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
It’s Christmas Eve and it’s time to be mindful of the season and those we love. Today I gave the gift of life in the form of a blood donation at Blood Assurance the regional blood bank I work for. It seemed like a good thing to do to help others in this season.
My friends have a great Christmas. Be safe everyone.
It’s T-minus 5 days until Christmas. That means 4 shopping days left. May your holiday odds be in your favor. Happy holidays good people.
