It seems to me that these are the most beloved holidays in our country, when many people are captured by a fabulous mood and I want to be happy, cheerful and give others tenderness and care. I particularly want warmth, love, waiting in the air for something new!

But, unfortunately, very often New Year's holidays leave an unpleasant aftertaste. This is a headache from alcoholic beverages and a pain in the stomach from eating many different (and often harmful) foods, and even at night. And pain in the soul, because expectations are not met.

If you approach Christmas on the other hand, then everything will be different. If you seek your happiness not in the next year, not in the mysterious oriental symbols in the form of monkeys and dragons, not in congratulations and refreshments, but in the love of our beautiful Lord Jesus Christ. If you ask Jesus Christ to fill your life on vacation, He will do it, you can be sure. Let it enter your heart and fill your life with meaning, love and interest. And then on vacation there will be much joy, tranquility and peace.

I will try to give you some advice. If you are going to celebrate Christmas and the new year with your whole family, it is great, for starters, you can pray to invite Jesus Christ to enter your hearts and be with you in this celebration.

During the New Year meeting, try to forget about television, alcohol and junk food, so that in the morning nothing hurts, and you don't have to call an ambulance or suffer a stupid night. Instead, you can do more pleasant and interesting things.

For example, how about telling your family why you love them? Or remember how much kindness and love your family members have shown you in the last year and say how much you value it. Or play a compliment night, admiring each other and finding something valuable and interesting in everyone's appearance and character.

You could also sit quietly and remember once again the events of the outgoing year, thank God for all that is good, for your protection. End New Year's Eve with prayer, sing something together and then go to bed with gratitude and a joyful heart. And I am convinced that if you accept my proposals at least in part, then next year it will definitely be more interesting and enjoyable, and there will be much more joy in my soul.
