A gift under the Christmas tree or under... a palm tree? What you choose?

Time passes inevitably and in the background, as every year, we can hear the whispers of Christmas carols from everywhere, Christmas tree lights twinkle joyfully at us from shop windows, and shops take part in a cyclical competition entitled "I'll have more decorations!"
Certainly, many people love this December atmosphere, impatiently tear off the pages in the calendar, and as soon as they decide that for some reason this is the day when they "can" take out the Christmas decorations, they run as quickly as possible to hang the lights on the Christmas tree, curtain or somewhere else. , where you can still hang them…

Some people have it completely different...

They close their eyes to the glaring gold-green-red trinkets, their stomachs tighten at the thought of choosing gifts, and the idea of sitting at a common table fills them with terror.
And this is completely understandable.
Anyway – is there one good way to experience Christmas? Everyone is perfect as long as they are consistent with their own beliefs!

However, we believe - and we recommend it to others - that an indispensable element of Christmas and a recipe for spending it in health and joy is... letting go, no pressure and calmly organizing it according to your own preferences. :)

Will you agree with us?

Will Santa Claus reach warm countries?
He may be a little hot, but he will definitely arrive.




One way to spend Christmas can be... a trip!

Without tiring house cleaning, horrendous sums spent on food, most of which you won't eat anyway... You can pack a suitcase, a book and go to the place you dream about or like. For example, to warm countries, because why not?
You can celebrate anywhere. It's all in your head. If you prefer coconut palms instead of aromatic spruces, don't blame yourself. Take your passport, ticket and fly.
And whoever has such a need, let him fly with you!

Or maybe, more locally, a trip to the mountains? Polish or nearby foreign ones. An atmospheric mountain cottage, a guarantee of white powder outside the window and peaceful Christmas carols sung in the company of your loved ones.
Active walks, skiing... Holidays do not have to be "eaten" at the same table as always.
Let them have a repeat of their vacation! Winter or summer. :)

The Christmas season can also be a good time for globetrotters. You can visit various popular corners of the world, which may be a little less overpopulated at this time, without being stuck in the crowd of tourists. And don't worry - Santa Claus will definitely find you there, as long as you want it to happen.
A recipe for a successful holiday
With a pinch of salt, we present our personal shamas recipe for a successful Christmas - in only three steps!
Could it be simpler and more pleasant? What do you say?
Or maybe you have your own recipes? We will gladly accept. :)

1. Count the costs. It sounds very mundane, but it's important: if you dream about spending the holidays abroad and you write them off because it's "too expensive", count the costs carefully. When you sum up how much you spend on food, cleaning, gifts and all other "little things" in the pre-Christmas period, and how much a trip to some beautiful place would actually cost you, the result may surprise you. :)

2. If you can and want to leave, leave. Whoever loves you will understand or go with you.
Allow yourself to breathe and make your dreams come true. After all, isn't that what the holidays are about?

3. However, if for some reason you cannot leave, try to make this time as enjoyable as possible and not add pressure and responsibilities to yourself. How to do it? We explain!

Magic your time
When expressing Christmas wishes, we often talk about health, happiness, family and peace.
And what is all this really?
Approach the topic consciously and give yourself and your loved ones a healthy holiday - both mentally, physically and in every other way.
Maybe it's not worth buying excess food, and instead of buying more gold earrings, you can buy your mother a health-promoting aromatherapy oil?
Dad - instead of whiskey - a voucher for a relaxing massage or sauna?
Add a massage base (it will be useful for both mom and dad) and voilá!

A portion of health served not only during the holidays :)

A lot of luck? Ask yourself and your loved ones what happiness means to you.
Maybe this is a great topic to discuss with family or under that palm tree in warm countries?
And realize this happiness, together or separately. An honest and calm conversation alone, with your family or with yourself, will be happiness.

Family circle... If only you can spend Christmas with your family without toxic relationships, quarrels and sadness, that's great. If not, maybe it's time to heal the atmosphere?
If not, palm trees in warm countries will certainly welcome you with their open, green arms.


But but, after all, family is not only relatives, for us it is people close to our hearts, so maybe holidays with friends? Do you take such holidays into account?
For us, Friends are like Family, so let's not give in to programs!

Composure. What a precious metal these days.
What gives you and your loved ones peace of mind? Sometimes it is worth influencing it from the outside - creating a calm aura, a calm space around yourself and looking for peace within yourself. We wouldn't be ourselves if we didn't recommend our shamas assistants here.
For example, the Smell of Christmas, our mist that introduces a festive atmosphere - will envelop you with the aroma of cinnamon, clove and orange and will certainly make sure that the household members relax.
Moreover, its ingredients will thoroughly deal with germs flying around ;)

I'm sure you have your own great ideas for surprising gifts, so we'd love to hear about them :)
And if you share your way of celebrating the holidays, it will be very inspiring for us :)


We wish you only beautiful, peaceful moments, dear ones! Whether by the Christmas tree or on the beach. :)
