RE: Christmas - how we can turn the festival of consumption back into a festival of love

in #christmas7 years ago

Nice post! in the UK Bisto (the ones who make the gravy!) run a scheme called "Spare Chair Sunday" to enourage people to offer a seat at their table for an elderly person (and their driver) for a Sunday lunch, and of course this is very much encouraged for Christmas day. I'm not even sure if I'm going to be in Ireland or in the UK yet for Christmas, but this has been on my mind to sort out wherever I end up.

Hope you have a merry Christmas!

Thank you dear @kate-m! :) Oooh, what a beautiful idea! This sounds so wonderful! I would love to join this idea and have lunch with an elderly person one day! And of course the gravy ( oh my gosh I love gravy :D )!
We have a vegan food truck on our market place which has a little money box on its counter where people can donate for those who have no money or are homeless. I really love ideas like that!

Wherever you may spend Christmas, I wish you a wonderful time and a lot of love and light :) It's so beautiful you are such a caring and empathic soul! :)

Thank you very much for your support and your words! <3

Just had a wee look at your blog page, you've been putting up quite a fair amount of interesting stuff. I'll admit I hadn't seen much of it appear on my feed among the other items.

Maybe you should concentrate a bit on getting more followers so that you have an audience for your posts? I've actually really enjoyed sniffing out like-minded people on this platform and striking up conversations with them... having random conversations has been my favourite aspect!

Keep on Steeemin!

Thank you for visiting my blog and your kind words!! :)
I know this problem when the posts go under and don't appear in the feed. So unfortunately I miss a lot of interesting posts sometimes.

You are absolutely right! I actually make some research the last days on how to gain followers as I think it would be amazing to build up my community :)
Thank your for sharing your advice with me :) I met some like-minded people on Steemit, too and it is so much fun having conversations with them and reading their posts.

Thank you very much, I will do so :) Keep on Steemin too, cosmic sister :)

Check out lovecycle for another cosmic sister, I think you too would get on :)

One thing I've been doing recently is signing off my message with my name, and hyperlinking it to my original intro post... because I think it captures more about me than a browse down my blogs. I think it works quite well. And also it avoids being a begger, which no-one likes!

Seeya around sista!!!

Thank you very much for connecting to a further cosmic sister! :) I follow her and I am excited to read about her! :)

Great idea! Thank you for sharing! This is so true! No one likes beggers! If they post poor quality posts they can beg as long as they want, they won't succeed.
I really appreciate your help, thank you!! :)

Glad I met you sister!! :) <3
