My thoughts on these quotes

I agree with all the quotes that say we should maintain the atmosphere of Christmas throughout the year. The attention we pay to people, the warm atmosphere we create during these holidays, spending time together with our family and friends – these are the joys for which we often run out of time during the year. In this December time, we become the best version of ourselves as we express our love, happiness, and positive anticipation of the days to come. And the most beautiful gift we pass on is our time and love.

My Christmas greetings to you

I wish you positive and happy moments with your loved ones, lots of laughter and smiles, hugs, and beautiful words and greetings. And for a sweet finish, some special gift that will make you happy from the bottom of your heart. 

Merry Christmas!
