Christmas is full of questions? What to buy for everyone? Where are we staying the holidays; strictly home, at Grandma's or abroad? What am I expecting; too much? A perfect holiday that is never going to happen?
All this has always been my problem. Since I was a little girl I wanted perfection out of everything, especially holidays like Christmas. When I got older, I also got disapponted more every year. Two days ago I had a great chat with one of my dearest persons. He made me understand that it's not about THE perfect C. It's about OUR perfect holiday, which might be best if we just sat down on a sofa and watched a movie. Because even that never happens.

Why do we always keep thinking tv-shows, movie stars and their life and comparing all that to ours? The fact that we might not ever have the same, doesn't mean we couldn't be happier with the things that we do have. Why to travel physically or in our minds to somewhere we don't belong? This year I'm concentrating this time, this place and this family - the only one I have and the loveliest in the world I know.

- at Grandma's.
People, keep this in mind: Don't you ever travel too far, it's only fear.
Christmas mood,
