Christmas Eve What Do We Do?

Christmas Eve a time of celebrating the seasoning of kindness and joy. Most children are waiting for Santa to bring them gifts for the good they have done. While adults keep watch over there children and live int there own little worlds completely unaware of the lack of how the the holiday has turned into a messed up spectacle.

As I write this in a sick state with the flu I know that it's all to clear that a lot of people have lost the spirit of Christmas.

Known fact about Christmas it's the celebration of Saint Nicholas, and the traditions were taken from paganism and then labeled as Christ's birthday. This is so wrong on some many levels. You take traditions from other religions only to label it as Christmas tradition.

Saint Lucia black fridays are probably my favourite kinds of shopping because there aren't always sales around this time. I think probably the hardest sales is during the sales in the States.

More like a nightmare of black Friday proportions because of the pandemic of COVD-19. The black Friday sales last all month going into the month of December in some stores.

In my own state, I've been hit with trolley's, even almost hit with industrial shopping trolley's for personal shoppers. I've not ever seen anything like this.

It's so overwhelming for me, I only ever experienced this one. And once is enough. I will tell you all, that I've had some bad experiences on my business trip to my old town. It reminds me of why I left and moved to Saint Lucia.

I feel like I've found a lot of inner peace from these experiences and only have a few things to do left before I can go back home.

I am extremely excited to announce that I am going to be opening my business Aurelien Publishing Services to the public of Saint Lucia our first branch office in 2024. Our home office will be at home Assou Canal, Saint Lucia I will be meeting with potential clients at Rituals Coffeehouse in Choc.

I'm so proud I even designed the website all by myself. Please if you have any inquiries just leave it in the "Have any Questions" section.

I'm the CEO and Publisher of my services. I thought of the business as services because I believe my clients and myself as the publisher should have a partnership.

As a distraction from being homesick I'm always working on prepping for the Launch Day of AP Services. Our business Launch Day will be June 21st, 2023 I hope that people will come to the launch day event. I think it might be a beach party without the alcohol maybe a grill party. I don't know yet but I like that idea. The good thing is I don't have to pay for the event location at the beach. Only for a tent.

I'm trying not to think of the negative trying to take a chance on this. Because I really believe this would be beneficial to all authors, especially at home.

I really wanna target young adults between the ages of 18-24 years. I just wonder maybe I can target more ages with time. I've been considering over the next ten years maybe two more locations of AP Services being formed and still be the CEO and Publishing of the other two locations. These locations will will be the United Kingdom, and Medina, Ohio. Mind as well, it will give me and my husband an excuse to come and going here.

Lastly, I am proud to say that my nightmare in the states is almost over so I can return home.

I think the spirit of Christmas has been lost for along time in America. But living in a third world country seeing so much at home you don't need to have a silver spoon in your hand. You can be somebody, still humble, and remember that just as quickly as you have it all you can lose it just as quick. I also learned at home, that family and friends are everything.

Remembering that I don't need to have the bright shinney new car, or the largest house on the block. It makes me grateful that I am a Saint Lucian and I would rather living a beach house far away from the beach. A nice car yes, Wi-Fi, a smart TV so Hubby and I have can our Netflix and Chill days.

Please like and subscribe, leave a tip if you want. And Merry Christmas, and Happy New Years.
