Christmas break

Ah yes, the Christmas break – that awesome time when you make plans and then don’t follow through with them, no regret. When you can’t wait to read those books, but nap instead. When you buy the paint for the kitchen but then just draw daisies in the sand. When you meet friends for a quick lunch that takes all afternoon. When you laugh and smile and talk to strangers. When you have a cold, cold drink in the hot, hot sun. When you look up at the stars again and make a wish. When you believe in dreams and miracles and kindness again. When you swim for pure enjoyment and not to burn calories. When being with family rejuvenates body and soul. When a kiss from your lover lingers all day long. When you let go of every disappointment you’ve inflicted upon yourself. When you have the time to let that chocolate dissolve in your mouth, with your eyes closed. When being naked is natural, and clothes are for public outings. When you say yes to everything that is unfamiliar. When lemon creams, ice cream and coke-cola is a meal. When doing the dishes is optional. When you embrace every moment of this most anticipated time, and understand what living in the moment is about.
