Food

 This is another big thing for me. I decided I will celebrate Christmas on Christmas day, instead of continuing the much loved German tradition to celebrate it on the evening of the 24th.

In the evening I think it is magic, intense, evocative. And yet I decided otherwise. I feel it's time to change because I have changed so much inside. Magic has lost that sentimental flair and has become reality. I feel differently, I am different. Therefore my Christmas will be on the 25th.

Because I want to celebrate a festivity I have begun to think now how I want to decorate where I am eating, the plates and cutlery I will be using.

But, most important, the food. Unfortunately I don't have a good relationship with food. I eat in an extremely simple way and I enjoy my simple food a lot. I am vegetarian, almost totally vegan and I enjoy my simple cooking. As I mainly eat steamed or row vegetables with some cereal like rice, oat, polenta, pasta.

Trying to adopt a more festive menu I ended up ruining the festivity because I don't fancy that kind of food. Therefore my decision: I will simply eat my normal beloved food, but in a festive decorated choreography.

This decision has eliminated the annual anxiety about what I could eat and now I am even looking forward to my new Christmas!
