It's Official! Christmas Time is Here

10/26/2018

The Christmas Season Has Officially Begun

What are the changes or signs that mean Christmas to you? Is there anything official or something you experience that tells you that the holiday season has begun?

For me, there is something very specific and this year, it happens today. So I am ready to proclaim that Christmas is here.

Why? Not because of all the signs of Christmas you can see already in the stores. Or because many people have begun to shop for Christmas presents, already.

It's because today is the day that The Hallmark Channel and Hallmark, Movies and Mysteries began showing Christmas movies. Isn't that exciting?

I can't wait to watch the first new one tomorrow night.

Merry Hallmark Christmas!

Love, Jeanine

Jeanine, I just discovered your blog. I have studied the daily practice of Christmas Spirit for more than four years. I'm now working with others to define the spiritual practice of Christmas Spirit, or what I call Christmasism. I am a practicing Christmasist! So far, we have defined Seven Tenets of Christmasism:

1. Generosity. Sharing. Inclusion.
2. Contemplation. Self-renewal. Soul-searching/self-exploration while the winterworld is sleeping.
3. Gathering of loved ones. Reconnecting with beloved people and practices that give life meaning. Fellowship. Hygge.
4. Peace. Forgiveness. Laying down of arms. Unconditional positive regard. Safety. Trust. Serenity. Compassion. Kindness.
5. Special food and drink. Twinkle, glisten, sparkle and decoration.
6. Gifts to self. Self-care. Create a nice moment for yourself at least once a day.
7. Joy. Be loving to all living creatures. Find joy in loving others.

These are still a work in progress, but we are contemplating and further clarifying them this year in our virtual nation (currently on Facebook), which is called Snowglobia. As a Christmas contemplative, you would fit right in -- please join us!

Hi, I'm Jeanine

Do you love Christmas so much that you start to miss it even before it's over? Me, too!!

I've dedicated 2022 to creating a Hallmark Christmas lifestyle.

Stay tuned, if you also love Hallmark Christmas movies, but feel sad when the season ends. I'll help you stay connected to Christmas all year long.
