Surely, Christmas is the time of year that we live more intensely family relationships. Christmas time moves in us many emotions: joy, good cheer, generosity … but also anxiety, stress and sadness. At this time we experience contradictions (sometimes few and sometimes many) in regarding our family and the family of our partner. It is expected of us Christmas joy and generosity, we are told of happy familes gathered around the table, peace and love. But in every family there has been all kinds of experiencesso that this social ideal often does not correspond with our experience and the reality of our family.
If we want this Christmas to be genuine we can give ourselves the opportunity to feel good in our skin and in our real family being faithful to our history, respectfull of our feelings-whether they might be- and giving space to what it is, with no makeup. Only from the internal connection to what it was and what it is, we can experience serenity and feel that life and love can flow , thus enjoying today, tomorrow.
