Heard on the BBC today that Christmas and the gift giving drama has only been going on about 150 years. Started in Germany actually. Now that my kid is old enough to know it's all a media hype, we both just use this time to relax and enjoy the calm. Of course I give her a few things, like iTunes credit and a gift certificate to a Yoga course, but no tree, no gift wrapping, no stress. LOVES IT!
It was lovely to hear ALL of the Church bells go off at once at 6pm here in Berlin, sounded cool…
