Julen 2022<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

M\u00e5ske er lyset i m\u00f8rket vigtigere i \u00e5r end det var i de forhenv\u00e6rende \u00e5r, og alligevel er der mindre af det rent bogstaveligt end der plejer at v\u00e6re. Det er sparetider. Elpriserne er h\u00f8je og velf\u00e6rden lav hos mange. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Det er s\u00e5 dobbelt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For p\u00e5 den ene side er der noget fortryllende over “lyset i m\u00f8rket” og “hjerternes tid”. Det er den tid hvor dansk “hygge” b\u00f8r v\u00e6re i h\u00f8js\u00e6det og alligevel m\u00e5ske den mest hektiske m\u00e5ned p\u00e5 \u00e5ret. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditionerne som mange har k\u00e6re, st\u00e5r under et nyt lys som trusler mod fremtiden. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Krig er p\u00e5 en og samme tid et r\u00e5b p\u00e5, at v\u00e6rds\u00e6tte det vi har og p\u00e5, at ingen kan f\u00f8le sig sikre. Kan man overhovedet tillade sig at gl\u00e6des over det man har, n\u00e5r nogen har mistet alt? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Og sp\u00f8rgsm\u00e5let som burde g\u00f8re sig g\u00e6ldende hvert eneste \u00e5r; kan man tillade sig at overspise n\u00e5r nogen sulter?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Man knokler og lader m\u00e5ske kontoen g\u00e5 i minus for at for\u00e6re gaver, der giver og tager p\u00e5 samme tid. Hvorn\u00e5r opvejer smilet og gl\u00e6den ved gaven den pris den har haft, da den blev k\u00f8bt, transporteret og da den blev skabt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hvilke v\u00e6rdier er det vi har taget til os, indl\u00e6rt? Og hvilke \u00f8nsker vi at videref\u00f8re og ikke mindst viderebringe?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hvert \u00e5r ved denne tid, f\u00e5r jeg lyst til at bryde det hele ned og starte forfra, men det kr\u00e6ver noget at bryde m\u00f8nstre. Ikke mindst overvejelser og planl\u00e6gning. Derfor arbejder jeg p\u00e5 en lille bog, som forh\u00e5bentlig kan blive mit bidrag til en v\u00e6rdifuld jul i 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Der er ingen bebrejdelser fra min side. Alle traditionerne bor i mig. Jeg elsker at give gaver, spise god dansk julemad, juletr\u00e6et i stuen med al sin pynt, lysene, julekalendre, de s\u00f8de sager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Det er bare s\u00e5 dobbelt, at jeg ikke l\u00e6ngere f\u00f8ler den samme gl\u00e6de ved at holde jul og det er jeg oprigtig ked af, for jeg har stadig en k\u00e6mpe fork\u00e6rlighed til julen. Derfor skylder jeg den ogs\u00e5 at omforme den til noget, der stemmer overens med mine v\u00e6rdier… men det er en igangv\u00e6rende proces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jeg tror ikke p\u00e5, at dem der lider, lider mindre ved, at andre giver afkald p\u00e5 noget der gl\u00e6der dem. Al gl\u00e6de, giver mere gl\u00e6de til helheden, s\u00e5 l\u00e6nge det ikke er direkte p\u00e5 bekostning af andre. Men det er altid v\u00e6rd at overveje om gl\u00e6den kan spredes og omfavne endnu mere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Gl\u00e6de er helbredelse.”<\/em><\/p>Seeren Calle Monts\u00e9gur<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Det handler vel i sidste ende om bevidsthed og om at tage sig tiden til, at overveje mulighederne frem for kun at se begr\u00e6nsningerne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christmas 2022<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps the light in the darkness is more important this year than it was in previous years, and yet there is less of it, quite literally, than there usually is. These are savings times. Electricity prices are high and welfare is low for many.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is so double.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because on one hand, there is something enchanting about “the light in the darkness” and “the time of the hearts”. It is the time when Danish “hygge” should be at the fore and yet perhaps it’s the most hectic month of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The traditions that many hold dear are under a new light as threats to the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

War is, at the same time, a shout out to appreciate what we have and an alarming voice saying no one can feel safe. Can you even allow yourself to be happy with what you have when someone has lost everything?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the question that should apply every single year; can you allow yourself to overeat when someone is starving?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You struggle and perhaps let the account slip into minus in order to give presents that give and take at the same time. When will the smile and joy of the gift outweigh the price of when it was bought, transported and created?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which values have we taken to heart, learned? And which ones do we want to continue and not least pass on?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every year around this time, I feel like breaking it all down and starting over, but it takes a lot to break patterns. Not least consideration and planning. That is why I am working on a small book, which can hopefully be my contribution to a valuable Christmas in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are no complaints or accusations from my side. All the traditions lives in me as well. I love giving presents, eating good Danish Christmas food, the Christmas tree in the living room with all its decorations, the candles, Christmas calendars, the sweets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is just so double that I no longer feel the same joy in celebrating Christmas and I am sincerely sad about it, because I still have a huge fondness for Christmas. Therefore, I also owe it to transform it into something that is in line with my values… but it’s an ongoing process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I do not believe that those who suffer suffer less because others give up something that makes them happy. All joy brings more joy to the whole, as long as it is not directly at the expense of others. But it is always worth considering whether the joy can be spread and embrace even more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Joy is healing.”<\/em><\/p>The Seer Calle Monts\u00e9gur<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I guess in the end it’s about awareness and taking the time to consider the possibilities rather than just seeing the limitations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
