White Christmas<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Yes I do admit. since\u00a0 December the first, although in Belgium the probability is only about 7%, I have been dreaming of a white Christmas.<\/strong> Not only that, I also look forward to the celebrations with beloved ones, family members, colleagues and friends, the food, the jingle bells, George Michael singing about Last Christmas<\/a> and Bono screaming \u201cBaby, it\u2019s Christmas, please come home\u201d<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Presents<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

And last but not least, the presents<\/strong>\u2026 December is a month full of presents and gifts. These days, persistent advertising is on 24\/7, promising you this or that gift will make us happier than ever. I-phones, Electronics, jewels, gadgets,\u2026 Giving and receiving, always moments of happiness, isn\u2019t it? Is it?<\/strong><\/p>\n

How many perfumes, bottles of wine, ties or pyjama\u2019s have you received (and given), putting up a big smile as if they made you happy as never before? After all, you know the feeling of the giver. He must have been strolling through the city, trying to figure out how to surprise you with an origina<\/strong>l, trendy, meaningful, or at least expensive, present.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We acknowledge that health is the most precious thing there is. But for some reason we do invest surprisingly little <\/strong>(effort and money) in our actual lifestyles<\/strong> and seem to prefer presents that do a good job at numbing the side effects of the domesticated and urbanized lifestyle we are living as rat racers.<\/p>\n

Do it differently!<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Do something different this year! Consider \u2018health\u2019 as a present<\/strong> when you go Christmas shopping. You better invest in an healthy lifestyle than in items which are \u2018cool\u2019 and \u2018fun\u2019 for a couple of days or weeks but which, be honest, within a couple of months will be completely forgotten.<\/p>\n
