Christmas is indeed a weird holiday. Not for why it is celebrated, although that is weird enough, but for what it does to people. Normally I would say I kind of like the concept of the celebrations, I mean I do enjoy seeing my family and spend time with them and as December in Sweden is cold and dark it is nice to make it cosy at home and light candles etc, but sometimes it just gets too much. This year definitely so. I really just would have liked to stay at home, sleeping a lot and reading my books. But somehow that is not socially acceptable only because it is a certain day of the year!! Weird!!! So many people have told me “no, you can not be home alone on Christmas! You must not!” I don’t get it at all! Why not now if I want to?! It is never a problem any other time. Of course it is sad for people who would like to celebrate with someone, but don’t have anyone and therefore are alone. I do have people to celebrate with, but why can I not choose to be on my own?! None of these people would be on their own, involuntarily, if I would not be with them so that is not a reason.
Well well, now I have decided to go home to the family anyhow and I guess it will be ok, that is, it will be as every year. And quite unsurprisingly I have caught a cold just in time, but nevertheless I wish you all a very merry what ever you are doing…
