#120. Well, after our 'looking ahead to Christmas' episode, how did it go? Were our festive hearts filled with joy? Or were there tears?!

This is The Silent Why, a podcast on a mission to open up conversations around grief, to see if hope can be found in 101 different types of loss, and we're Chris & Claire Sandys, your childless hosts.

Every year, we dedicate an episode to sharing our thoughts and feelings about the Christmas season - before, and after, it happens. Now that the holiday buzz has settled and a new year has begun, we’re back to reflect on how Christmas 2024 unfolded, whether our intentional choices helped us enjoy it, and how we’re stepping into 2025.

Includes; Sherlock Holmes, cinnamon buns, advent calendars, and Chris' meat monologue explaining Meat Chicken!

And if you want some questions to reflect on as you enter a new year, here's the 10 we mention in the episode:

1. Personal high moment/experience for you individually this year.
2. Personal lowest moment of the year.
3. Joint best memory
4. Joint hardest memory.
5. Biggest personal dream you have for the future.
6. Biggest fear you have for the future.
7. Something you don't want to take into next year.
8. Something you really want to take into next year.
9. 3 things you want to achieve this year.
10. 3 things you want to stop/be better at/improve on.
