As Christmas arrives, we want to take a moment to wish everyone in the RealSAM community a very Merry Christmas and a peaceful festive season.
Christmas can mean different things to different people. For some, it’s a time of celebration and connection. For others, it’s quieter — a moment to pause, reflect and enjoy simple comforts. Wherever and however you’re spending the holidays, we hope this season brings warmth, kindness and moments that matter to you.
An Inclusive Christmas for Blind and Low-Vision People
At RealSAM, everything we do is guided by one belief: everyone deserves to feel included, connected and supported — especially at Christmas.
For blind and partially sighted people, the festive season can come with unique challenges. Busy environments, unfamiliar routines and visual traditions can sometimes make things feel harder. That’s why accessibility, simplicity and independence are so important at this time of year.
Whether it’s listening to a favourite audiobook, staying in touch with loved ones, or enjoying accessible news and entertainment, small things can make a big difference.
The Comfort of Stories at Christmas
There’s something special about stories during the festive season. Audiobooks, spoken articles and shared listening moments can bring comfort, familiarity and joy — especially on winter evenings.
For many in our community, listening is a way to relax, escape and feel connected. That’s why accessible reading and audio-first technology matter so much, not just at Christmas, but all year round.
Thank You for Being Part of the RealSAM Community
This year, we want to say a sincere thank you to everyone who has been part of the RealSAM journey — our customers, partners, readers, listeners and supporters.
Your feedback, conversations and shared experiences continue to shape what we build and why we build it. You remind us every day that accessible technology isn’t just about features — it’s about people.
Looking Ahead to the New Year
As we look towards the new year, we’re excited about what’s ahead. From improving accessible reading experiences to growing our BookClub community, our focus remains the same: making everyday life simpler, more inclusive and more connected for blind and low-vision people.
But for now, we hope you’re able to slow down, enjoy the season and take care of yourself.
We wish you a Merry Christmas, and a joyful festive season filled with warmth, comfort and moments that matter — however you choose to celebrate.
With best wishes,
The RealSAM Team
