Top 7 Items for Creating a Christmas Atmosphere

What can you do to bring the spirit of Christmas into your home? How can you fully immerse yourself in the magical atmosphere that makes Christmas a beloved holiday all around the world? Flowwow presents you 7 ideas that come together to create an unforgettable Christmas mood, with its heartfelt warmth, cosiness, and the anticipation of wonder. 

Tiny Christmas Tree

To get yourself into the spirit of winter holidays, you don’t necessarily need a proper, full-size Christmas tree. Tiny Christmas trees, charmingly adorned with golden cones and nuts, poinsettia flowers, and cute little bells, are all the rage now. You can choose a tree to match any interior: warm or cool tones, with a golden shimmer, or in contrasting colours.

Christmas Wreath

A festive wreath of fragrant spruce and pine branches, with cones, shiny glass baubles, and beads is a focal point of any festive arrangement. The entrance adorned with such a decoration makes you want to step inside for a cup of hot, fragrant tea. If you hang it on your living room wall instead, spending winter evenings there, curled up on a sofa with a good book, will become an even more delightful experience.

Candles and Candleholders

Christmas is a holiday when a bright star of hope lit up in the night sky above the desert. Since then, on the eve of Christmas, the living, flickering flame of the candle reminds us of how much we can do for one another. Besides the sentimental value, several lit candles in beautiful plaster or glass candleholders add particular cosiness and warmth to any interior.

Christmas Table Arrangements

On Christmas Eve, many families gather around a table for a feast. It becomes even more festive if, at the centre of this gathering, there’s a luxurious winter bouquet in rich, vibrant shades, with holly branches, clusters of red berries shining from within, large rosebuds, and chrysanthemums. Such an arrangement instantly puts everyone in a merry mood and makes adults look forward to magical times, just like in childhood.

Abu Dhabi has launched a pioneering service allowing couples to receive their marriage contracts instantly through text messages and other digital channels, according to the Abu Dhabi Judicial Department (ADJD). Following the ceremony and digital authentication, couples will immediately obtain their contracts through this first-of-its-kind initiative. Notably, Abu Dhabi has facilitated over 7,000 digital marriage contracts since the introduction of this service in October 2022, making it possible for individuals to get married without leaving their homes via video conference.

Counsellor Yousef Saeed Al Abri, the undersecretary of the ADJD, emphasized that this service reflects the department’s dedication to excellence in Abu Dhabi’s judicial and notarial sectors.

For those interested in getting married digitally in Abu Dhabi, the process involves submitting a marriage application online using the UAE Pass on the ADJD’s website. Upon approval, applicants can complete the necessary procedures online, choosing between an in-person ceremony or a video-call marriage session. After scheduling an appointment, the digital contract is promptly delivered upon the completion of the marriage session. The finalized contracts can be shared through official channels using a digital signature.

The ADJD’s marriage platform offers users flexibility in scheduling, visibility into officiants’ availability, and automated medical examination results. The documents are digitally authenticated and assigned a unique contract number, eliminating the need for traditional paper documentation. This innovative service streamlines the marriage process, aligning with the department’s commitment to excellence in judicial and notarial services.

DXB retains its title as World’s Busiest International Airport in 2023, exceeding 56.5 million seats

0

Dubai International (DXB) has maintained its status as the busiest international airport in 2023, handling over 56.5 million seats, as reported by aviation consultancy OAG. Dubai Airports recently projected an annual passenger traffic figure of 86.8 million for 2023, marking a significant recovery beyond 2019 levels.

Despite the challenges of the past year, DXB exhibited a remarkable 25% increase in seating capacity compared to the previous year. The airport, which held the top position in 2022 and 2019 with capacities of 53.98 million and 45.27 million, respectively, remains a key driver of post-pandemic recovery and growth in the emirate.

London Heathrow Airport (LHR) secured the second spot with 46.5 million seats, a 24% increase from 2022 but comparable to 2019. Other notable airports in the rankings include Amsterdam Airport, Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport, Singapore’s Changi International Airport, Istanbul Airport, Seoul Incheon International Airport, Frankfurt Airport, Doha International Airport, and Madrid Adolfo Suarez-Barajas Airport.

OAG reported that DXB was the second busiest airport globally in 2023, trailing behind Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport (ATL) with 61 million seats. Additionally, the Dubai-Riyadh route ranked as the world’s sixth busiest route in 2023, handling 3.99 million seats.

These rankings underscore the resilience and continued growth of DXB, contributing to the emirate’s optimistic outlook for the remainder of 2023 and beyond. The success is attributed to effective pandemic management, fostering a robust travel and tourism sector in Dubai.

UAE’s New Labour Law promises quicker dispute resolution for workers

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has implemented a significant amendment to its Labour Law, introducing measures to expedite the resolution of labor disputes in the private sector. The Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE) revealed the enactment of Federal Decree-Law No. 20 of 2023 on Monday, December 18th. This new law is set to replace Article 54 of the existing Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021 and will be effective from January 1st, 2024.

According to the latest legislation, MOHRE will now have the authority to make final executive decisions on labor disputes involving claims of up to AED50,000 for both individual workers and companies in the private sector. The Ministry emphasizes that this amendment is strategically designed to streamline procedures, reduce the time and effort for claimants, and expedite the collection of legal entitlements.

The dispute resolution process for labor complaints will undergo notable changes in 2024. Previously, MOHRE encouraged amicable resolutions between employers and employees in disputes, with unresolved cases referred to a competent court. However, the new amendment empowers MOHRE to issue final judgments on disputes below the AED50,000 threshold. This applies to cases related to non-compliance with MOHRE’s previously resolved amicable settlement decisions, irrespective of the claim amount.

In situations where either party disagrees with MOHRE’s judgment, the new law permits them to appeal through the Court of Appeals, as outlined in Article 1 (3). The appeal must be filed within 15 working days of the Ministry’s decision. The Court of Appeals is mandated to schedule a hearing within three days and resolve the issue within 15 working days, marking a significant acceleration of the dispute resolution process.

The UAE’s proactive approach to enhancing labor dispute resolution demonstrates a commitment to fostering a more efficient and responsive legal framework, benefiting both employees and employers in the private sector. This initiative further solidifies the UAE’s dedication to ensuring fair and expeditious resolutions for all workers.

UAE’s ‘Gallant Knight 3’ rescues Gaza with desalinated water flowing as lifeline to Palestinians

0


The “Gallant Knight 3” humanitarian operation led by the United Arab Emirates has achieved a significant milestone by successfully pumping desalinated water to Palestinians in Rafah, within the Gaza Strip. This crucial water supply is sourced from UAE-built desalination plants located in Egyptian Rafah, facilitated through the use of a newly installed 900-meter pipeline. The responsibility for distributing this water within the Gaza Strip lies with the Palestinian Water Authority in Rafah.

The success of the water-pumping initiative comes at a critical time when residents of Gaza are facing a shortage of desalinated water. The water supplied through this pipeline will cater to the daily essential needs for drinking water, particularly in shelter centers.

Ambassador Lana Zaki Nusseibeh, Assistant Minister of Foreign Affairs for Political Affairs and UAE’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations in New York, inaugurated three desalination plants built by the UAE for this purpose. The construction of these plants was carried out in cooperation with the Arab Republic of Egypt. These three desalination stations are expected to desalinate about 600,000 gallons per day, addressing the water needs of approximately 300,000 people in the Gaza Strip.

This inauguration is part of the broader “Gallant Knight 3” humanitarian operation initiated by the UAE on November 5th. The operation aims to provide crucial humanitarian assistance to the Palestinian people in Gaza. Since its launch, the UAE has sent 115 aircraft, carrying a field hospital, desalination plants, and more than 7,615 tonnes of food, medical, and relief supplies to alleviate the challenging conditions faced by the people in Gaza.
