Chris Evergreen here. Welcome to your daily goodwill
for Wednesday, December 24th, Christmas Eve.
If today feels magical for you, I love that.
And if today feels complicated, I love you too.
Christmas Eve can carry a lot. Memories, missing
people, family dynamics, pressure to make it
perfect, all of it. So here's the advice for
today. Aim for meaningful, not perfect. Perfect
is exhausting. Meaningful is doable. Here are
three simple ways to make tonight meaningful
without turning it into a production. First,
pick one small tradition and do it on purpose.
A candle. A special drink. A favorite song. A
short prayer. A movie you've seen a hundred times.
One thing done with attention. Second, send one
message that matters. Not a mass text. One real
message to one real person. Hey, I'm glad you're
in my life. Or, I'm thinking about you tonight.
That's a gift that doesn't need wrapping paper.
Third, leave yourself a little room to feel whatever
shows up. Joy, grief, gratitude, loneliness.
It can all be true at the same time. You don't
have to edit your emotions to match the vibe.
And if you're with people tonight, here's a tiny
goodwill move that changes the whole atmosphere.
Look someone in the eye and say, I'm really glad
you're here. That's it. That's the magic. That's
your daily goodwill for Christmas Eve. May your
night be peaceful, your heart be steady, and
your expectations be merciful. Talk soon.
