This time of year can be really challenging for many. I think we can all relate after the past couple of years managing during the pandemic (which isn't over).

We all have loved ones that aren't with us anymore and those "firsts" are some of the hardest days to navigate.

I'd love it if the #fediverse could come together and tell everyone that they're #NotAlone and that we're #TogetherApart.

No one should feel alone. Ever. We can make our community welcoming for all and this is a great step!

Merry Christmas to those who celebrate 🎄. Me and my wife aren’t Christians but have been celebrating Christmas for the past 12 years now. We just love this time of the year - for us it means family time, food, lights and being part of the community celebrations.

This year we also got a chance to share our story on CBC Kitchener Waterloo along with others like us- https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/kitchener-waterloo/faith-christmas-celebrations-christian-muslim-hindu-non-religious-1.6695154

They aren't Christian, but they love Christmas. Here's how they celebrate | CBC News

*regular people*: I bought a house and now out of money so can’t afford to buy a new sofa
