What is the most beautiful Christmas gift?
It’s a gift you can’t buy and one that can’t be wrapped. Curious yet? It has to do with the love, care, and clarity you offer the people who are dearest to you. If all goes well, you’ll soon be sitting at the Christmas dinner table with those you love. You’ll reminisce and look ahead to the new year. Looking back is often easier than looking forward. That’s why:
It’s time for a meaningful conversation!
Because everyone at the table is vulnerable, no matter how young, healthy, or active they may be. It’s not just grandparents who might face unexpected events. The fact that you’re seated at the table this year doesn’t guarantee you’ll be there again for Christmas dinner in 2026. That’s why, in our view, the most beautiful Christmas gift lies in a positive, loving conversation about one important question:
What should others know if something happens to me?
Don’t make it a gloomy talk, let it be a realistic and valuable moment of connection. Throughout your life, from young to old, situations can arise in which someone you trust needs access to important information about you and from you. And it’s a peaceful thought when that is arranged in advance.
Familiar risks in a digital world
Thinking together about possible risks can be surprisingly eye-opening. You might recognize yourself in one of these people at the dinner table:
The young digital native who has built up value in countless online places: crypto, wallets, apps, game items, store credits. A life that plays out largely online, yet no one else knows where all the login details can be found.
The entrepreneur or freelancer who handles everything themselves and is in fact the only one with access to their administration, contracts, and systems. Only when you think about it do you realize your partner or colleague would have no overview whatsoever if you were suddenly unable to explain anything. What happens if your income stops because of it?
Or perhaps you’re retired, with a lifetime of paperwork and accumulated value. You may recognize that digital banking platforms, healthcare portals, and logins increasingly feel like a maze. You may know exactly where everything is today. But will others eventually be able to find all your physical and digital storage places?

In short: think about your own scenario and the risks you may face.
December is the month to truly see each other
That’s what makes December so special: you take the time to be together and really listen. It’s the season in which conversations that truly matter are finally given space.
An open conversation about your legacy, about what is important in your life and what you want to leave behind in terms of peace, clarity, and love, strengthens the bonds between people. It builds understanding and trust, and it makes the future more manageable for everyone. You will likely discover that these conversations are the greatest gift you can give one another: clarity for your loved ones at the moment they need it most.
Doesn’t the Christmas dinner feel even more meaningful once these conversations have been had? Try it and discover what happens…
