Christmas 2018

"A moment to think about my up and coming first Christmas as a mum. Having spent most Christmases of my adult life partying hard and working hard, Christmas 2018 bestows a somewhat thankful and content bliss upon myself. The once repeated excitement of finishing a hard shift and holding a cold beverage in my hand has been replaced by the excitement of watching my son's blue eyes light up by the twinkle of the Christmas tree lights and the silence of a thousand words of watching my family watch Christmas movies while cuddled up near a warm fire.

I remind myself during these blissful moments how lucky I am, as I know many individuals in my life who live with their own pains of loss, loneliness, working hard and crippling want for love. It's these thoughts that are the very real reminder that Christmas is about love, giving time, reflection and being thankful for the life you have. Christmas isn't about fancy presents and unnecessary expenses, its about staying safe and finding happiness in the little things that life offers you.

Merry Christmas to all my wonderful family and friends x stay safe and be happy x"
