#happy new year !!

[abdalsalam1990]

As we approach the end of 2024 and welcome a new year, 2025, and with the arrival of Christmas, I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a joyful Christmas Eve filled with love and peace. May your holidays be beautiful, warm, and full of happiness.

I would also like to express my deepest gratitude to everyone who has supported and contributed to me and my family during this time. Thanks to your generosity, we have been able to raise €64,263, and this achievement is all thanks to you, my dear friends. However, we still have some way to go to reach our goal; we still need €35.737 to achieve it.

I kindly ask you to take a moment and consider donating again to support a Palestinian family in need. Let us work together to reach €70,000 before the end of the year. Remember, every donation, no matter how small, makes a significant impact and holds great value in helping us improve our lives during these challenging times.

Thank you for everything you have done, and happy holidays to you all!

Landau siblings' New Year's Eve preps (Sampo’s been welcomed). Landaus are naughty enough not to celebrate with their parents.

Because of the freeze, Belobog is severely impoverished gastronomically, but the 700 year old recipes have survived! For Sampo Koski, it's absolutely not a big deal to steal an old olivier salad recipe from the archives. Even if it is impossible to get all the ingredients for the salad on Jarilo-VI, somewhere in the universe there are bound to be grouse, eggs and all the necessary sauces!

They are cooking something between a modern olivier salad and the original recipe.

(Olivier is a traditional New Year's dish in many post-Soviet states, known as Russian salad in Europe and some other countries) Have a happy new year's celebration! <3

🎄✨ Feliz Navidad ✨🎄

Que esta Navidad nos recuerde lo importante que es detenernos y apreciar los pequeños momentos: el calor del hogar, las risas compartidas y los abrazos sinceros. 🎁 Que cada luz que brille nos inspire a encender esperanza en nuestro corazón y a compartir amor con quienes nos rodean.

A veces, el mejor regalo es simplemente estar presente, escuchar y demostrar cariño. Que esta Navidad sea un recordatorio de lo fuerte que somos, de lo lejos que hemos llegado y de la belleza que hay en seguir adelante, incluso cuando el camino no ha sido fácil.

🎀 ¡Brindo por el amor, la paz y los nuevos comienzos! 🎀 Que el próximo año nos encuentre con el alma llena de sueños y el corazón ligero.

Feliz Navidad y que el 2025 esté lleno de magia y bendiciones. ✨

This Christmas, I find myself being contemplative.

Two days after Christmas last year, I officially walked out the door, and separated from my husband, letting go of a 16 year marriage in the hopes that I could turn my life around and find my happiness.

It was the scariest and most difficult decision I ever made. I had no idea if I would be okay, if I would fail. If it weren't for my best friends offering their home to me, and my 1 boss buying a car for me to use to get to work, I wouldn't be where I am today.

It's not been an easy year by any means. But, compared to where I was exactly a year ago today, I'm so much better. I'm healthier, happier, and more stable. I'm still not completely on my own, but that's ok. I'm in a supportive and positive environment and I'm growing. I'm in therapy, I paid off my car this week, and I opened a high yield savings account. I'm making moves for my future in a very big way.

I see where my ex is at and it's the same struggles as always. He's kept himself in the same pattern of inadequacy, and I'm so glad I got out.

On top of it all, I cut contact with my parents and my brother. All these toxic, unhealthy connections are being removed and I have never been happier.

The only thing I find I'm missing is full independence. I want a home of my own. I want a job that can allow me to afford an apartment or a house.

I'm also missing companionship. 16 years with a partner then suddenly going without really hits a certain way. It's a void that can't be filled with family or friends unfortunately. Not to be a pessimist, but I don't have a lot of confidence that I'll find someone that will meet my now-high expectations. Gale kinda ruined that for me lol. That's the bar, unrealistic as it may be.

Despite that, however, I'm happy. Truly happy. I no longer blame myself for the failings of my marriage. I gave it my best. I really tried to anyway. I told my ex that I wanted couples counseling. He declined. That was my condition for staying. He said he wasn't interested so as far as I'm concerned, he threw away the relationship. Not me. My mediation is in January so hopefully it'll be over by then.

So many of you have been supportive and loving as I went thru all of this. I am grateful for the friendships I've made on here. I wish I was around more to interact, but please know that I appreciate the help out of y'all and your kindness. This community has lifted me up in ways that I never expected.

Thank you, everyone. Thanks for being here while I grow.

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and have a spectacular New Year. ❤️
