How do you celebrate holidays?

You celebrate holidays by taking lots of pictures and bringing home amazing memories.

Of course this question is in American terminology, so it probably means things like Christmas and Independence Day.

All such holidays have different traditions in different countries. Nowadays, with multiculturalism we see many holidays celebrated which we would not have seen years ago, such as Eid and Diwali, but I’m not of those cultures.

Whether we’re talking a fortnight away or a cultural holiday, the common denominator that makes them special is family. Except that doesn’t hold true for everyone because not everyone has a family. I haven’t had a family Christmas for decades.

As such it’s a wide ranging question with many answers, that I don’t have an answer to as we haven’t had a holiday since 2014, and thanks to our shops and supermarkets I’m bored with our cultural holidays weeks before the event. Here’s how it goes:

  • Immediately Christmas is over Easter Eggs appear in the shops.
  • In August Halloween items appear in the shops. We don’t even celebrate Halloween here, officially.
  • In September Christmas items adorn the shelves.
  • The January sales start before Christmas.
  • The end of summer sales start at the beginning.
  • Mid-season sales pop up randomly.

As such I have no idea what month it is, what I’m supposed to be celebrating, which season it is, or what happens next.

So if I did celebrate it would probably be the wrong thing on the wrong day for the wrong reason, and my sale shopping would be wrong season.

It’s all too much so I read books and pretend none of it is happening.

Best love as always

I'm a writer, public speaker, medium, and spiritual thinker. I suffered from acute anxiety from the age of 16 until I was well into my 50s, when I finally found methods that helped me to put it behind me. My struggles led to me exploring life through poetry, then plays, and over a 15 year period I made notes for a self help book which I published in 2015. Details on the book page. Although I am a psychic medium and loved the work, it didn’t feel right for me. It was an utter privilege, but my path was the exploration of what it means to be spirit in the real world and how we can make practical use of those abilities. Nowadays I write, blog, and teach soul-centred living, which is a gentle way of undoing past programming and connecting to your essential self, or soul. If you’re interested email me and we can chat. No pressure, it’s right for you or it’s not and you will know. The groups meet on line so no going out on cold, wet, winter’s evenings. On a personal note, I’m based in the UK. Married with five cats, no children, and four grandchildren, thanks to our inherited daughter, who has gifted us four beautiful little people that bring us such joy. Hope you enjoy the blogs. Deb xx
