Merry Christmas and a Happy Birthday!

For those of you who don’t know, my birthday happens to fall on Christmas Day. Not only that, but I don’t even celebrate Christmas so, often, my birthday tends to be a lonely one.

Don’t get me wrong, even though my family and I don’t celebrate Christmas, I do love this time of year. I love the lights and decorations, the Starbucks holiday drinks, the general gift-giving, the songs and the spirit. All of that is wonderful and heartwarming. Also, there’s something great about celebrating your birthday in a small group of just your family.   

However, this year, Christmas time is going to be a lonely one for many. I’m right there with you. Take it from someone who’s been alone on this day many, many times before: Call your family, tell them you love them, curl up in your softest pjs, and binge watch your favorite show. You’ll get through it.

So, I want to extend to everyone the happiest of holidays and the merriest of Christmases. You’re making this sacrifice this year in order to celebrate in 2021 with a blast.

Wishing you all the best this holiday season.
