1. A cozy atmosphere at home
The first thing I do to create a festive mood is to decorate the house. My Christmas tree is already in place, shining with the soft light of the garland. There are toys hanging on it, each with its own story: some were inherited from my parents, others were bought on trips.

There is already a fragrant candle with the scent of cinnamon and orange on the table. It always reminds me that Christmas is a time when you want to warm not only yourself, but also your loved ones.

2. Time with family
For me, Christmas is, first of all, about family. We sit down at the festive table, share stories of the years and remember the happiest moments together. This year, I plan to cook my signature dishes: baked goose, gingerbread cookies and, of course, hot chocolate with marshmallows for the kids.

3. Gifts from the heart
I love to please my loved ones with gifts. I always choose something that can give a smile or inspiration. This time I am preparing surprises, which I wrap in craft paper and tie with red ribbons.

It is especially important for me not only to receive gifts, but also the joy in the eyes of those to whom I see them giving.

4. Creative tradition
Every Christmas I try to do something creative. For example, together with the children we create handmade cards or shoot a short holiday film. This decision brings us so much laughter!

5. Moments of silence and gratitude
At the end of the day, I always find time to be alone with myself. At this moment, when I think about everything that has happened during the year and thank life for all the good.

For me, Christmas is a reminder that even in the most difficult moments you need to be able to notice the light. It's time to share this light with others, be it family, friends or me, I need help.

And how do you plan to spend this magical holiday? Share your traditions! 😊🎄
