If it’s starting to feel a lot like Christmas, that’s because it is! It’s that time of year again: copious amounts of eggnog, meeting cousins and family you get to only once in a year, and yes, last minute shopping! Regardless of which holiday you celebrate, December seems to bring out the best, whether it’s people, food, or gifts. For kids and adults alike, Christmas time makes us wonder if Santa really exists only in the movies. Or is he really out there? Thinking about this makes us realise that Christmas is all about spending quality time with the ones we really care about and love, and that they are our real Santas. Amidst all the laughter, love, delicious food, and the mandatory Christmas tree, we found a few interesting young kids who absolutely love the concept of Christmas, and couldn’t contain their excitement to share how much they look forward to it. They are Shivani, Jaiveer, Ayra, and Reya, who made our cover look fun! While the Feature Story lets you in on how a few people from the city celebrate their Christmas, we have Amulya Prasad gracing our People in Focus pages. She recently launched The Earth Love – an e-commerce platform for products that are consciously made. The online platform offers numerous products ranging from baby needs and personal care items to food options, toys, and home products. She shares that this venture is her way of contributing to planet Earth. Bring back the real spirit of Christmas with some personalisation and giving back to society – including the environment and your loved ones! Mind & Body gives you a few ways to make your Christmas a notch more eco-friendly, sustainable, kind, and loving!
