“A Different Kind of Christmas”

Posted on by Kerri Elizabeth

“Tradition is not what keeps us alive, truth is.”

Christmas may not look how it once did.
The people may be different.
The table may be quieter.
The day may be simpler, softer, or more reflective.

But different is not lesser.
Different can be peaceful.
Different can be healing.
Different can become the very thing your heart needed.

Let this Christmas
be exactly what it is,
no pretending,
no performing,
only presence.

Gentle Practice:
Light a candle tonight.
Let it represent every form of love, near, far, lost, returned, or still becoming.

-Kerri-Elizabeth-
Tomorrow, on Christmas Day, we speak of love that survives distance.

  3. Even though I don’t celebrate Christmas, your posts always resonate, Kerri. I have many memories from past holidays, but I am grateful to be truly in the present. I love you, my friend!
