Shops and towns are decorated, Writing.Com looks very pretty, and many people are planning what to buy for others for the holidays. Indeed, quite a few people are looking forward to Christmas, whether or not the celebrations are part of their faith. Sometimes it’s easy to forget that for others the upcoming weeks can be a time of stress and anxiety.
With the dark hours lasting longer and the cold and gloomy weather many of us are exposed to, this is no surprise. Additionally, some people will be alone for the holidays. Watching the news doesn’t help much either – there is a distinct lack of happy stories on there.
If you are struggling this time of year, or know anyone on this site who is, there is some good news. Whether or not you celebrate Christmas, the site is full of fun activities you can take part in. Some are tied to Christmas, others aren’t. And there are some right good events to look forward to in the New Year, as well.
We can all do with a smile. Smiles are necessary for us to feel good and cope with the stress of daily life. Of course I encourage you to seek smiles offline, but it’s always helpful to smile as much as we can, and this community offers a lot of feel-good opportunities.
Take part in one of the many excellent writing contests. Exercising your writing skills, perhaps even learning new techniques, does wonders for a writer’s confidence. Check out the various activities. There are some really nice ones being held right now, offering you the opportunity to share and give, and maybe receive in return. The Season Tickets look to be the best ever, with some amazing prizes on offer. All proceeds go to RAOK, to help members with upgrades – a worthy cause indeed.
Whatever makes you smile, I am sure there is something on this site for you this month. Whether you’re into Christmas or not, this has to be one of the most inspiring times a year on Writing.Com.
I hope that as you have a look around at what’s on offer, life will feel that bit brighter. And if you are smiling, consider sharing your joy with someone else. It just might make you feel even better.

I welcome any and all thoughts, views, questions and suggestions for my Newsletter, so please don't hesitate to write in. I'd love to hear from you!
faithjourney - Thanks for the newsletter on reviewing. I joined this website because there is absolutely no writing scene where I live, so this is my way of "plugging in" to other writers. The reviews, especially from people from different places and walks of life, are tremendously helpful to me as a writer. Likewise, I try to review as often as I can because I believe it helps all the way around - it widens my perspective and helps others grow as writers. I'm so glad I found Writing.com!
Thanks so much for your feedback! There is no writing scene where I live either so, like you, Writing.Com is the perfect place for me. It's a second home . I hope you are having a wonderful experience here.

Incurable Romantic  - Wonderful column, Kitti! And your closing line is the best.
Thanks so very much! I am glad you enjoyed the Newsletter .

myyadon - That was good to read.
Thank you!

Bluesman  - Very well put! I have been critiqued a few times (with quite small ratings) because a person disagreed with the viewpoint of the article, rather than how well the article was written. You have put this into words.
Thank you! Unfortunately, this happens sometimes. I hope that the positive experiences outweigh the negative ones .
~~~
Wren - Thank you for including my poem, Writing What You Know, in last week's newsletter.
Cautioning people about the reviews they write was an interesting choice for the subject of spirituality. There's nothing like criticism to squash a person's spirit. Good advice.
You are most welcome! And thank you for your kind feedback .
~~~
Gracious - Thanks for the reminder of why we are here. It is good to know that in our busy worlds we are encouraged to be honest and considerate of others and their feelings, point of view. Thanks for commanding respect and humility when dealing with others.
Thank you for your kind words .
~~~
Hope you have a wonderful week!
