๐Merry Christmas! ๐Well, we do hope it's merry. You know how Christmas can be...
A glorious family reunion filled with joy, heart-warming generosity and the most delicious food of the year, where you feel absolutely filled with the falalalala of it all!
But it can go in another direction, too.
The family reunion can be fraught to say the least, preparing the feast can cause a nervous breakdown and the politics of gift-giving can replace joy with passive aggression.
How can one beloved tradition bring out the best and the worst of us?
It's fascinating, I think. And it's something we've been mulling over a lot at Just Peoples - how humans can create love-joy-peace or contempt-stress-bitterness in any given moment.
You may be familiar with the famous Cherokee parable about each person having two wolves fighting inside them: a good wolf and a bad wolf. And which one wins the fight?
The one you feed.
So with this in mind, in 2026 we're running a campaign (or a global movement if you will) to encourage humanity to feed our collective good wolf and spread warm-hearted compassion to those who need our support. It's going to change the world, if you ask me. But more on that on Jan 1st!
In the meantime, we're taking this holiday season as an opportunity to practice choosing love over fear, and embracing the joy of community over division and resentment.
Joy to the world, and to you!
Falalalalaa,
The Just Peoples community ๐๐
