The year is slowly approaching its end and Christmas is all around us. Streets are decorated to reflect the holidays’ spirit and it is almost impossible not to feel the festive mood in our hearts. It is certainly a time that most of us have been eagerly waiting for, particularly children, but also grown ups that keep that little kid inside them.

'Christmas time' by Monique

Christmas fills us with positive energy, good thoughts, peace and love. It is a good occasion for reflection, when we give thanks for all the good things in our lives. It is also a time for hope, as we consider the negative experiences in a positive light and turn them into opportunities for the year to come.

In 1X we wholeheartedly hope this is a time to start chasing your new dreams. No matter how big or small they are, we hope they soon come true. We also wish you the best of times with your loved ones. Let’s load this month with positive energy, together as a great family. Let’s push forward and overcome the difficulties that were holding us back.

Merry Christmas to all of you from the big 1X family: the founders, curators, crew members and especially our team of editors. And thank you all for the great support and beautiful pictures that you share with us every day.
