Christmas 2.0

I still send a Christmas letter to my friends and I haven't gone completely Christmas 2.0. I'm not broadcasting or podcasting our Christmas practices (decorating, baking, cleaning) and I'm not sending the letter through my blog. But why not? It could be cheaper and wonderfully multimodal. But on the other hand who would have time to stare at, read and listen to my Christmas instead of constructing their own?

Last Saturday I listened to a short lecture where Marika Borg talked about the importance of connecting with yourself and finding harmony in this hectic time. You just had to close your eyes and think and feel your breathing for three minutes. For those who practice Yoga or Pilate's or sing a lot know how awareness of breathing gives energy and help to relax. So instead of trying to create and share a virtual Christmas I think that we should have Christmas practices in the physical space and even more than usually. And feel our breathing. Getting together and feeling how the real meetings in opposite to virtual ones make you grow and makes it easier to connect with yourself. Have a peaceful, breathable Christmas time!
