Winter has finally arrived, the world is frozen and magical, sunshine on glittering ice crystals.\u00a0Christmas time has always been a special time to me. I love snow and walking in the cold, if we get lucky\u00a0even sledging in the snow and iceskating on nearby ponds. Coming home, to a cozy warm kitchen,\u00a0usually filled with the smell of freshly baked cookies, hot tea\u00a0and fir tree.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Not to forget the sparkly lights and candles everywhere, making evenings extra cozy.\u00a0I love those long evenings, wearing a thick wooly cardigan, cuddled up, ready for\u00a0hours filled with good\u00a0talks or reading great\u00a0books.\u00a0And of course the time we take to wind down, thinking about all that has happened during the\u00a0year, all those dreams that have come true, and all those tough moments of the last months.\u00a0This time of the year where we take time to thank the people that have made our year\u00a0special, who made us smile. I just love sitting down in the evenings, writing\u00a0cards to\u00a0people in my life who have in some way made my year wonderful.<\/p>\n

So as\u00a0I was designing\u00a0my christmas cards this year, I thought about how lucky I am\u00a0to have amazing people in my life. People I can count on, people who want to see me happy,\u00a0who support me. All those who are listening when I need to talk, who cheer me up when\u00a0I am sad, who love me just the way I am. I am so very grateful for\u00a0these\u00a0wonderful people in my life.\u00a0Realising how lucky I really am, I thought how many people don`t have all this.\u00a0People who dread this time of the year, because it makes them feel lonely.\u00a0All the elderly, who miss friends and maybe don`t even have a family.\u00a0People who have lost their love filled homes and loved ones, because of wars,\u00a0illnesses\u00a0or some\u00a0unlucky constellation.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
NUMBER ONE:<\/p>\n
Every couple of days I will be sending out a card to someone. So I would love to her from you if you \u00a0actually know someone who feels particularly lonely this time of the year? Someone who dreads Christmas,\u00a0because there are no relatives who will be visiting? I will be picking someone from the names you guys give me and send out some love this Christmas.<\/p>\n
NUMBER TWO:<\/p>\n
Join in the fun and send some cards yourself. And maybe even get more friends to send more cards. Would`t it be great if we could surprise\u00a0a good many people with some love in the mailbox?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
I am hoping for your help and many names for me to send cards to this year!<\/p>\n
Stay loving,<\/p>\n
