    My husband of 58 years passed away in 2022. My two sons passed in 2010 and 2019, respectively. I wasn't feeling the Christmas spirit for the past two years and spent those Christmases alone, lost in grief for my family. This year, my dear grandson convinced me that I needed to get back into the Christmas spirit and the family traditions that I held dear for so many years. I'm so glad he did! I can't express how much it helped me. I decorated the house, put up a tree, and hosted our family gathering on Christmas Eve. We had a wonderful time! The gathering was filled with love, laughter, and togetherness while sharing stories and memories of my husband and sons. What a blessing!

    As I read through many of the comments, I was really touched that people were not talking about the gifts that they received of a tangible nature. But rather the gift of family, friendship, prayer, faith, good neighbors. Several commented I miss being the first Christmas that they were alone after losing loved ones. I hope you read all these comments and see that not. A lot of people are interested in the materialistic of Christmas. It has such deeper meaning than that.

      It’s ok to also share what loved ones have gifted us knowing that the real reason is the birth of Jesus. Yes our hearts know the real truth of what makes life so meaningful- family and our memories of loved ones and special times. But it’s fun to share like with Shea showing us her jewelry !! It was gifted to her in the spirit of love!!

    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone! Reading through some of these comments is a reminder of the brokenness in the world we live in, where hurt and sadness affect us all. Even so, I am profoundly thankful that God is sovereign, the center of every moment, every day. Life becomes so much more beautiful when we trust Him to be in control. If you don’t yet have this peace, my prayer is that you turn to Him in everything you do, find joy in the journey, and fully embrace each moment along the way.
    Thank you, Shea, for your uplifting channel and all the wonderful work you do to make this world a better place.
    PS. I ordered the book you recommended: “Don’t believe everything you think” about half way through it. Thank you again. 💗

      We had a great time eating and playing games then chatting by the fire outside.
      It was a wonderful day.

    I finally, after 9 years of being my families doormat. Got the courage to turn away from those that only use, talk about, and belittles, knowing you will still be there. Took years to pinpoint, quiet my mind that I did nothing wrong. A conscious, everyday effort on dissolving my people pleaser tendencies to protect myself, even if it means I will spend every holiday and special occasion without family and the support. I hope the road ahead brings new people who appreciate my kind nature. Merry Christmas to everyone and a bright and beautiful New Year. Amen 🙏

    Thanks for thinking of us, Shea! I spent Christmas this year with my 81 year old Mom who has dementia. Decided to make it all about her as this may be the last one she remembers. Looking at photos, eating her favorite foods, singing and dancing. She gave me so many Christmases full of love so I wanted her to really feel the holiday spirit. We had a wonderful time. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family.

    It’s been a difficult year, and my husband and I are buried in medical bills, so we weren’t able to travel to see family this year and our budget for gifts was close to nothing. But I’ve been determined to make the best of it and create Christmas magic where we can. Since November I’ve poured a lot of time and love into hand made gifts for all of our family. And our family and friends have shown us love, support, and kindness. To anyone reading this for whom Christmas is a difficult time, sending you love and care. ❤

      I already have several *preluxz* bags, some of which I've had for a long time but still use! I have a few large bags that I use as school bags, business bags, and even as baby bags, which are very spacious! The quality is very good. I recently bought a few small bags. I may eventually buy a larger bag because I find that small bags are beautiful but not very suitable for long trips.

    This was probably our most difficult year of our 40 years together. My husband was in a horrible accident and in ICU for weeks. Things were just starting to look up after a couple more surgeries when his company had a massive layoff and he lost his job after being there for 25 years. He found out 3 weeks before Christmas. This may sound strange but we had soooo much to be thankful for this Christmas!!! He is still with me to celebrate this holiday along with all of our wonderful family. He is perfectly able to find a new position and we have always been good about saving money. So many of you have had to deal with much more! We are blessed! My best present was holding his hand as we sat around the tree Christmas morning!!

    My Christmas memory that was the most impactive in my life was when I was 16 years old my mom was diagnosed with colon cancer, she came home from the hospital Christmas Eve, unbeknown to me, for her final Christmas with the family. I guess being the youngest of 4 children my father thought that I could not handle it so I was not told that she was dying. I also lost my dad at the age of 21 but through this experience I went into the medical profession and worked in a hospital for 30 years and helping others with my testimony of strength that God has given me and how He put me on a path of having the best husband and for filling life. My faith grew and I always say He never left me an orphan. I still have all my mom's ornaments and Christmas is the time of year I feel the closest to her. God bless you and your family for this New Year 2025!

My 15 year old daughter did this also, we we had daily discussions about that day's chapter. Carving out a few minutes per day to spend in God's word is just what I needed. With Christmas over, I'm continuing this daily practice with 100 Essential Bible Passages.

Since then, Christmas was a sad reminder of what I no longer had…… a family. Now, I’m starting to find joy and appreciate what I still have in my life. This year, I celebrated Christmas knowing I will never be alone, because I will always have them in my heart. ♥️

    This Christmas was my first without my father, and it was bittersweet. Though his absence was deeply felt, our family gathered together to honor his memory and celebrate the love he instilled in us. We shared stories, laughed at old photos, and cooked the recipes he cherished. This gathering, filled with warmth and togetherness, was a special tribute to his enduring spirit and the legacy of love he left behind. It reminded us all of the importance of family and the bonds that keep us strong, even in times of loss.

    We celebrated a lot this year as a family. My brother was diagnosed with brain cancer in 2021 and he is now in remission. My father's birthday is on Christmas Day so for him to have his children and grandchildren surrounding him was so special. Personally, I have been divorced for 5 years and just reconnected with someone from HS and we couldn't be happier. We have so much to be thankful for.

    This Christmas, I didn’t do anything out of the ordinary, which is always extraordinary! We danced and sang our hearts out. I spent time with my family and friends, gifted others, received gifts, but my most favorite thing I did overall, was celebrate the birth of Jesus! One of my favorite things that me and my granny love to do when we are together, is to watch your videos and talk about all of the cool products in your videos (and do a little shopping!). We look forward to watching them every time we are together. This year, I even used your videos to assist me in gift giving, and it was very helpful! Thank you so much for always making such great videos! Happy New Year! 🎆

    A cherished Christmas memory from 2024 was organizing and hosting a heartfelt celebration for around 30 neighbors in need at St. Augustine Church in Wellston, Missouri. We shared a warm, festive meal together, and each guest received not only lunch but also a gift card, a thoughtfully prepared goodie bag, and a special Christmas gift. It was truly moving to witness the joy and gratitude in the room. For me, this gathering was more than just an event-it was a gift I gave to myself. The experience of coming together in the spirit of love and generosity made it one of the most meaningful holidays I’ve ever celebrated.

She had me follow a ribbon all through the house, behind and under furniture, one floor of the house to another and at the end, was a birthstone 14k ring. It made my Christmas truly magical. This year, I sent my 11 year old granddaughter a gold initial necklace. I hope that I made her day. I wished I could have been there with her.

There were so many people around me that I care about with sad things happening in December this year and I was honestly just so grateful that no one was hurt in my car accident and my husband and I were able to stay home and get better. I was thankful that I had decorated and made my home cozy at least and I was able to cook favorite foods for my family and to enjoy them and be peaceful, cozy and on the mend on Christmas.

I am a grandmother of six little boys. :) No granddaughters yet. Christmas was nice getting together with family, church services and Christmas Eve breakfast. Unexpectedly, our daughter had to go to the hospital early Christmas morning after she woke up. She had to stay there until evening. We were grateful she was finally able to come home that evening. Her 3 kids were with us grandparents but they missed Mom & Dad on Christmas. It was a hard day but I believe everything will be fine. If I win, I plan to share with her. Wouldn't that be something! Nothing can replace what happened but a little joy can go a long way! Thank you for doing what you do and please continue. Your kindness, authenticity and generosity shines through!
