Recently, I reached out to you all on Twitter to find out what Christmas means to you, and I got such a positive response! Thanks so much to everyone who got involved! It was a great insight to see what you all get up to and what lovely answers you gave! I'd definitely like to do more posts like this in the New Year, so do let me know if you'd like that?
Before I share what this lovely Twitter lot said, it's only right I share with you what Christmas means to me!
Christmas to me means sharing my time with both sides of my family & my boyfriend, appreciating loved ones and feeling lucky to be so fortunate. Not forgetting the cheesy party games, endless amounts of food and that overly dramatic Eastenders Christmas Special!
Now, here is what you said..
@teabeeblog Christmas to me means time off work. Time to enjoy some food, enjoy some beer. Spend time with friends and family. Relax
@teabeeblog To me Christmas means getting to spend time with my family. It's a chance to reminisce and appreciate the past year with some of the best people in it. It's a chance to give back and show them my appreciation.

"Just some thoughts as we enter the Christmas season. It is important to remember that not everyone is looking forward to Christmas. Some people are not surrounded by large wonderful families. Some of us are having problems during Christmas and may be overcome with great sadness when we remember the loved ones who are not with us.
For many it is their first Christmas without a particular loved one and many others lost loved ones at this time. And, many people have no one to spend these times with and are overcome with loneliness. We all need caring, loving thoughts right now.
If I don't see your name, I'll understand. May I ask my friends wherever you might be, to kindly post this status for one hour to give a moment of support to all those who are having family troubles, health struggles, job issues, worries of any kind and just need to know that someone cares. Do it for all of us, for nobody is immune."
This was written by my lovely friend, Viv (her blog link is here). She's such a talented writer and everything she said here is SO beyond true! Just some food for thought.
What does Christmas mean to you? How will you be spending it this year?
