Does it sound familiar to you? Christmas, nostalgia, time to think about things. I am very nostalgic at the moment. I think a lot of Christmas and Santa Claus, how I experienced that when I was a child. It all seems nicer, more intensive and more fun during my childhood. How is this possible? Are we too busy with our work, our everyday life and activities, buying Christmas gifts and forgetting how beautiful it all is around us? Anyway, I miss the reflection during this time. Everybody is running, has end-of-year stress, every evening another Christmas drink. When we look deep in our hearts, do we really want this? This year, I do not want it. I try to find peace between all the hectic. That is not easy. I am sometimes also somebody who runs with the flow, but not now! An evening at home, Christmas music in the background, burning candles on the Advent wreath, reading a good book or a nice magazine, that is what makes me feel good. I really do hope that you also find some peace and that you can enjoy this beautiful time. Merry Christmas and all the best for the upcoming new year!
