Why we're already thinking about what's happening in 2025 It's September, we've still got to get Advent Calendars out, then there's Christmas, but we're already thinking about next year (and a little bit about 2026). Why? Because firstly, each year's advent calendar is a long process which goes through 3 phases of testing, which all takes time. Then there's all the other things that we want to fit into the year as well. Next year will see us trying a couple of new and different things as well as some favourites like the advent calendar (watch out for some clues...) We know up front, right now, what we want to achieve and we can start planning it. That means that when we come back from our Christmas/New Year holiday, we can get going straight away, without having to plan anything, because we already know what needs to be done. Any ideas what we're planning?

🎄 Welcome to Advent: A Time for Preparation and Reflection 🎄 Today marks the beginning of Advent, a special period that prepares us for the upcoming Christmas celebration. Advent is not just a time of waiting; it is also an opportunity for reflection and planning for the future. During this contemplative season, we at CAMSOL want to highlight the importance of foresight and strategic planning - values that are crucial in the IT industry. Just as we prepare for Christmas during Advent, we also focus on careful planning and proactive measures in our IT projects. We believe that a clear vision and well-thought-out strategies are key to success, both personally and professionally. Let us use this Advent season to pause, reflect, and prepare for the positive changes we can achieve together. Wishing you all a meaningful and inspiring Advent season! ✨ #advent #preparation #reflection #sustainability #it #planning #foresight

Oh, the magic of Christmas! 🎄✨ Remember when we were little, scribbling down our wish lists for Father Christmas? We were so full of hope and excitement, carefully choosing each item, believing in the magic of the season. Little did we know, we were practicing one of the most powerful life skills without even realizing it: goal setting! 📝✨ As kids, our hearts knew no bounds – we dreamed big and believed anything was possible. But somewhere along the way, many of us lost that spark. We stopped setting goals with the same enthusiasm, maybe because life threw a few curveballs our way or perhaps because we were told to be "realistic." But here's a little Christmas reminder: the magic of goal setting is still within us. 🌟 Whether it's wishing for gifts from Father Christmas or setting our sights on personal and professional achievements, the principle is the same. It's about believing in the possibility of something more, something better. So, as we enjoy this festive season, let's reignite that inner child. Let's set goals, dream big, and believe in our own magic. Because the truth is, the power to achieve our dreams didn't vanish; it just needs a little spark to come back to life. 🚀💖 Here's to bringing back the magic of goal setting this Christmas and beyond! 🎅🏼💌 #DreamBig #GoalSettingMagic #ChristmasSpirit

The season of Advent invites us to draw inward, embracing a quiet and reflective anticipation. As we begin our Advent journey, we light the first candle—the candle of Hope. In this season of waiting, hope is the light that guides us through the darkness, reminding us that no matter how uncertain or challenging the world may seem, we are never alone. This week, we are invited to reflect on the power of hope in our lives. Hope is the quiet strength that helps us navigate life’s challenges, the assurance that brighter days are ahead, and the faith that goodness and light are always with us, even in difficult times. May this first week of Advent renew your sense of hope and inspire you to carry it with you into the days ahead. #Advent #Hope #InspireAndLead #MissionLeadershipInstitute #ProvidenceMission

I’m posting everyday until Christmas with a one word theme. Today’s theme is wonder. The holidays are a time of wonder especially through the eyes of children. Their curiosity about how Santa manages his global gift-giving mission or the mystery of flying reindeer reminds us of a unique perspective: which is the sheer joy of asking questions without rushing to find answers. Somewhere along the way, as we grow up, that wonder often gets replaced with reality, logistics, and the headaches of adulthood. Wonder is never far away. That’s why places like Disneyland and Dollywood thrive, offering escapes into worlds of imagination. It’s also why adults work to preserve spaces like National Parks, curate art museums, and maintain zoos or even celebrate quirky roadside attractions. Each of these places taps into our need to explore, discover, and feel something extraordinary. Whether it’s pondering the deeper meaning of traditions or marveling at small, everyday moments, the season invites us to slow down and reflect. Perhaps it’s not just about the to-do lists or the perfect gifts, but about rediscovering the magic in the “why” and “how” of the season both in its spiritual and personal significance. This holiday season, let’s make space for wonder. Take a moment to look beyond the hustle and ask questions that reignite your sense of curiosity and gratitude. It might just transform the way you experience life. #HolidayReflections #WonderOfTheSeason #MeaningfulMoments

9 DAYS TO CHRISTMAS🎉 SELF-IMPROVEMENT. Are you wondering about what to give to yourself this Christmas? A better you is the best gift you can bring into the new year. The magic of this season should inspire you to get better and grow this year, to change and improve on self-development. It's not all gifts, decoration, and reunions; reflecting on how to be an improved version of oneself can also be a reminder to renew hope for new beginnings on Christmas. Why not make use of those times and begin small with steps of self-improvement? ~Look Back, Learn, and Let Go: Look back over the last year. What did you achieve? What might have gone right? Clear out what has kept you back. ~Create a Habit That Works for You: It doesn't have to be big. Drink more water. Take five minutes to journal, call a friend or loved one-just because. The small stuff adds up. ~Appreciate your blessings, and the more you appreciate what you already have, the sweeter the journey to what you want will be. Self-development is the step to productivity. It's a time of giving; let us not forget giving an opportunity to ourselves to rise. After all, a better you is the best present one can bring into the New Year. #PencilsForChrist# #100daysofChristmas#
