Christmas in July 2018 day 1 / Noël en juillet 2018 jour 1

CIJ day 1 / jour 1

What does it mean to have the Holiday Spirit?

The first thing that comes to my mind to represent this is this quote “I wish I could put some of the Christmas spirit in jars and open a jar of it every month “ by Harlan Miller


To me, the Christmas Spirit is a feeling – a feeling of warmth, love, coziness, peacefulness, generosity, joyfulness and kindness.

How to attain the Christmas spirit:
·        Giving heart-felt gifts
·         Soft Christmas lights, music, candles
·         Christmas music
·         Taking time to reflect on the meaning of Christmas

  2. I think you got it absolutely correct - it's a feeling and you've summed it up beautifully - warmth, love, coziness, peacefulness, generosity, joyfulness, and kindness. Giving not receiving, bringing joy to others, a softness to the season rather than all the glitz and excess that we often see. A time for family and friends and togetherness.
