Merry Christmas, everyone! Here's a fun thought... I thought a good example of the Insights colour system would be to give Santa an imagined profile! 🎅 🔥 Firstly, Fiery Red: This might be controversial, but I think Santa's strongest energy might be his Fiery Red. Santa’s a natural leader, taking charge of his workshop, setting clear goals, and making sure the mission gets done. No one can argue with a man who delivers millions of gifts in one night! 💛 Sunshine Yellow: Of course, Santa is known to be a figure festive cheer wherever he goes! Santa’s enthusiasm has got to be a strong part of his profile, coming in as the second colour strength. 🎁 Cool Blue: While being third on the list, Santa’s definitely got an eye for the details! From the lists of who’s been naughty or nice to managing the logistics of worldwide toy delivery, he’s a master at organising and planning. 💚 Earth Green: But finally, Santa has of course got that caring, compassionate side. How else does he put so much love and care into all his gifts? So, what do you think? Do you have different interpretations? If you’d like to find out more about your own Insights profile, send me a DM - but maybe after Christmas is over! 😉 #Insights #Teamwork #HR #Christmas

VERY SERIOUS POST... Here are 5 'Icks' to look out for during Christmas. Definition of an ICK: Something that make's you feel icky or something unattractive... DISCLAIMER: I do all 5 of these... 1) Running downstairs to check if Santa has visited... I put the presents out myself! 2) 'THE GIFT HINT DROPPER' This person usually says thing like 'oh I don't really need anything for Christmas' but then proceeds to fill your phone with links to expensive gift ideas, usually luxurious candles etc... WE GET IT KAREN... you want a £90 candle!! 3) The shy present opener... the dreaded moment everyone feels when you visit a relatives and everybody else has opened their gifts... so you have to sit there... centre of attention opening up a selection box, be grateful but don't overdo it, it's £3-5 worth of chocolate! (it's the 5th one you've opened today) 4) The Secret Santa this one applies to the office workplace and is a great opportunity to let your feelings be known to that colleague... yeah that one! Usually comes in the form of a mug or a coaster with something insulting wrote on it... my favourite I've seen over the years was a coaster that said 'nobody in this office likes you' bit harsh but nonetheless, funny! (I was the one who received the gift). 5) The competitive wrapper... whilst opening your gift, they usually drop comments like 'OOOOOOO Santa wrapped that one well' or 'A professional ELF must have done that one'... MEANWHILE, I've just handed them what looks like debris from a car crash... yeah, no problem... maybe next year! Do you have a Christmas Ick? #ChristmasIcks 🎄 #FestiveFails 🎁 #HolidayHumour 😂 #RelatableChristmas ❄️ #TisTheSeason 🎅 #AwkwardHolidays 🌟

Can you believe that another Christmas is nearly upon us, where on earth did the last 11 months go? And, much as we all know that Christmas is a time for joy and celebration, and not necessarily for serious talks about life’s inevitable realities. Writing your Will is still one of the most important things you can do for your loved ones. So, whilst writing your will may lack twinkling lights and festive cheer, here’s why it should remain on your “to do” list: • It is a gift of security: Whilst gifting presents is wonderful, a will gives your loved one’s clarity and security for the future. • Peace of mind for everyone: Your family can rest easy knowing they won’t have to figure things out for themselves, after you’ve gone and without your guidance. • Avoid family drama: Family dynamics can get complicated. Without a will, your estate might become a source of tension and disagreement among relatives. Don’t get me wrong, I completely understand that drafting your Will won’t have the same festive feel as decorating the tree, or wrapping presents. However, it is a thoughtful step you can take for your loved ones. If you’d like information on taking the first steps to writing your will, please do not hesitate to get in touch by calling Davies Estate Planning on 07818 078474. #willsandtrusts #estateplanning #peaceofmind

Prepare for Christmas https://lnkd.in/eJsS4C63 To prepare for Christmas, you can: set a budget, start shopping early for presents, plan your Christmas meal in advance, make travel arrangements if needed, decorate your home, create a gift list, consider making some food items ahead of time to freeze, and most importantly, plan your time with family and friends to minimize stress; remember to also consider the spiritual aspect of the holiday by reflecting on its meaning.

Turn your home into a treasure trove of memories this holiday season! 🏡 Remember, it's not just about the gifts under the tree but the moments you create with loved ones. Here's to a season filled with joy, laughter, and unforgettable memories. 🌟 #lovewhereyoulive#loveyourneighbourhood#neighboursandfriends #yourfavouriterealtors#magnoliagrouprealty#justrealtorthings#realestatehumor#waterlooregionexperts#yourrealtors#whoyouworkwithmatters

Hi everyone let’s know some interesting expersions 1 .A Blessing in Disguise: Something that appears bad at first but ends up having good results. For instance, missing a flight turned out to be a blessing in disguise because it allowed more time with family1. 2.A Sandwich Short of a Picnic: A humorous way of saying someone is a bit mad or not very bright. For example, if someone packs only shorts and t-shirts for a winter trip to Sweden, they might be a sandwich short of a picnic. 3.A Stone’s Throw: Refers to something being very close or near. For instance, if a wedding venue is just a stone’s throw from your hotel, you can easily walk there1. Actions Speak Louder Than Words: Emphasizes that what you do is more important than what you say. For example, if someone keeps promising to take you out for dinner but never does, you can say, 4."Actions speak louder than words"Refers to something being very close or near. For instance, if a wedding venue is just a stone’s throw from your hotel, you can easily walk there. 5.Add Fuel to the Fire: Describes when someone does something to make a bad situation worse. Imagine someone laughing during an argument—it really adds fuel to the fire.

To all the amazing internationals navigating life in Sweden, it’s that time of year when Jul traditions are in full swing! From the Julbord (hello, meatballs and pickled herring!) to the annual viewing of Donald Duck at 3 PM, there’s a lot to embrace. But here’s a thought: while you’re enjoying your first (or fifth!) Swedish Jul, why not sprinkle in a little holiday magic from your home country? Whether it’s a special dish, a song, or a quirky tradition, sharing your own celebrations is a great way to connect with your Swedish friends and bring a slice of home to the table. Not sure where to start? Here are a few ideas: ✨ Teach your friends how to pronounce your favorite holiday treat (or just laugh when they try). ✨ Show them how you say “Merry Christmas” in your language—it might end up as a fun inside joke! ✨ Bring a unique holiday tradition from your homeland to your fika group or work party. This season is about belonging—wherever you are. Embrace the new, share the familiar, and most importantly, eat way too many saffron buns. From all of us at Belongingin... God Jul, Happy Holidays, and may your hearts be warm—even if your toes are freezing! 🧣❄️ What’s your favorite holiday tradition? Drop it in the comments—let’s celebrate together! #GodJul #LifeInSweden #InternationalCommunity #CelebrateTogether
