What matters most when it comes to Christmas isn't what your sign dictates or how you choose to celebrate, it's the time spent with people you love and the memories you make. Bonds can be made even stronger thanks to the holidays, the prime time to share love however you do so best, so make sure to indulge in that as much as you can.

Spend this season fostering positivity and it'll be given back to you in turn.
