My Christmas Wishes to You

As we gather this holiday season, I want to take a moment to wish each and every one of you a Merry Christmas filled with love, joy, and peace. Whether you are surrounded by family, chosen family, or enjoying some quiet moments of reflection, know that you are cherished and appreciated.

This Christmas, let us celebrate the beauty of diversity, the strength of authenticity, and the power of love in all its forms. To all my readers, may your holidays be filled with warmth, joy, and the comfort of knowing you are seen, valued, and loved.

This time of year reminds us of the importance of kindness, compassion, and the connections we share. For those who may find this season challenging, I hope you find comfort in the knowledge that you are not alone—this community stands with you, offering support and understanding. Let this Christmas be a time to honor your journey, cherish chosen family, and embrace the unique light you bring to the world. Here’s to hope, unity, and a season that sparkles with pride.

May your days be bright, your heart be light, and your holiday season filled with warmth and happiness. From my heart to yours, Merry Christmas!

Since ancient language of Aramaic was most likely the language of Christ, I though I’d add this translation as well:

 ܐܫܬܐ ܠܟ ܫܢܬܐ ܛܒܬܐ ܘܐܝܕܐ ܕܡܘܠܕܐ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ!

(Eshta l-kh shnata ṭavta w-ida d-Mawlada d-Mshiḥa!)

It roughly translates to “I wish you a good year and a feast of the birth of the Messiah!”
