It’s Christmas in the Little Things…
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, and I’m finding it in the most ordinary places.
A holiday design on a @dietcoke bottle. A festive @7brewcoffee handed through the drive-thru window. They’re just a “cupple” of small reminders that the season is making its way into our everyday lives, often before we’ve even thought about getting the decorations out.
Some will say it’s too early. Maybe it is. But I’ve never believed that kindness, generosity, or a little extra joy should have to wait for a date on the calendar.
What I love most about this time of year isn’t necessarily the shopping, the decorations, or even the celebrations themselves. It’s the anticipation. The way familiar things begin to feel special again. The songs that bring back people and places we miss. The traditions that remind us where we’ve been, and the possibility of making new memories with the people who share our lives today.
And perhaps those little holiday touches are useful reminders of something larger. We can be more patient with the person in front of us. More generous with our time. Quicker to offer a smile, make a call, extend an invitation, or say the words someone needs to hear.
The season will pass, as it always does. The bottles and cups will return to their usual designs. But a thoughtful gesture, a gathering around the table, or an unexpected moment of laughter can stay with us for years. I’ve learned that our fondest memories are often the ones we never thought to plan.
So yes, I’m happy to see Christmas showing up in the little places. I hope it encourages us to notice the little things, to be a little kinder, and to make memories worth keeping.
After all, the best part of the holidays has never been what’s printed on the cup. It’s who we’re sharing the cup in the moment with.
