Unforgiveness! Yes unforgiveness can destroy your Christmas! So what's the remedy? Forgiveness - however you say that is not so easy. Remember that you possess the awesome power of choice. You 'choose' to harbor ill feelings or you can 'choose' to let them go. A good way to help you to let those feelings go is to look at the quality that is being presented that you don't like. This is the lesson in this challenge for you. Take this quality and think about ways that you could improve this quality in your own life. You will free yourself and be wiser in the process otherwise you remain chained to and drained by unforgiveness. Ultimately unforgiveness at Christmas will destroy your Christmas spirit and all those around you. 'Choose' to learn, forgive and let it go.



Here is a good ritual to incorporate into your Christmas. It is practiced in some European countries and its benefits are many. You will all connect at a heart level and you will start afresh with renewed hope and optimism for an even brighter new year with your loved ones. So take a weight off your shoulder and start seeing the gift of learning presented by those who challenge you.

Christmas Forgiveness Ritual

Make it a ritual before the festive meal to spend a moment one by one going around the table asking for forgiveness for something you did or didn't do during the year. It will connect you all at a heart level! Don't miss this opportunity to build bridges and set yourself free. Forgiveness truly revives the ?real' spirit of Christmas!

Here is how you can extend this ritual throughout the year to ensure closer loving relationships:

1. Make it a ritual with your immediate family to once a week before the Sunday family meal to spend a minute each going around the table asking for forgiveness for something that you could have done better over the week.

2. If something has been playing on your mind and you are suffering with feelings of guilt, spend time on your own telling yourself that you forgive you. You now know better and will choose better decisions/actions/thoughts in the future. Ask God or the universe for forgiveness and love to fill your heart and purify every cell in your body. Sometimes a ritual can also help ? take some soap and run your hands under a running tap. As you wash your hands repeat "I now cleanse and forgive myself and will commit to doing better in the future".

Take the spirit of Christmas with you throughout the year by incorporating some forgiveness rituals that will allow your love to flow!
