❤️✨ Dreaming of a new Christmas ✨❤️

For many, the Christmas season feels like a marathon:

Christmas party here. Secret Santa there.

Quickly buy some gifts.

In between, functioning, smiling, wanting to do justice to everything.

And somewhere in the middle, we lose ourselves.

At some point I decided:

We're not going to put up with this anymore.

We celebrate Christmas the way we want to.

No perfection. No obligations. No pressure.

Christmas looks different here:

We often stay in our pajamas for almost a week.

We might go to the cinema sometime.

We close the doors and open our souls.

We only celebrate with people we truly love.

The presents will be opened on the morning of the 25th; they will celebrate the 24th.

And we leave it open each year how it will turn out.

For us, the Christmas season is a time for relaxation.

A phase of letting go. A phase of reflection.

I consciously use the Twelve Days of Christmas every year – they bring me back to myself and to what is truly important.

And quite honestly:

By the end of the year, the children are exhausted.

Same here.

Everyone is tired. Sick. Overwhelmed with impressions.

Why should we fulfill expectations that aren't even our own?

That's why we live the holidays in a relaxed, flowing way.

Let's feel it together:

What do we need right now?

Peace and quiet? Closeness? Doing nothing?

Then we'll do exactly that.

No German rules, few traditions, nothing to restrict us.

Just guidance – and lots and lots of freedom.

Because children live in the here and now.

And perhaps that is the greatest gift of this time:

To remind ourselves that every day begins anew.

That we don't know what tomorrow will bring.

But that we are allowed to have visions that sustain us.

And maybe – just maybe – next year we will finally celebrate the Christmas we are dreaming of anew:

under palm trees.

In the warmth. By the sea. While grilling.

Completely free.

We are completely ourselves.

And you? You can celebrate Christmas in a way that feels good to YOU and your family.

Not how it "should" be.

Not how "one" does it.

But rather, as your heart and yours truly needs it right now.

I AM WOMAN®

Your self. Your freedom. Your life.
