christmas is
when we are full of gluttony
and hardly can move after we´ve eaten so much
then we sleep all pain away
christmas is
having to spend hours with the tribe
being exposed to stupid, racist and negative talking
and no room to escape
christmas is
when our gifts show
how little we know each other
christmas is
the overvisible gender gap
females working in kitchens
male dominant talking
christmas is
children being overexposed towards
too many, too loud, too plastic, too expensive, too blinky
fu**ing annoying toys
christmas is also
loving mum
cool ever growing kiddos
meeting with friends
soul balsam
christmas is also
seeing the herrnhut star in my region
outside the houses
like the star of bethlehem
like a symbol: every house can be a barn
christmas is also
when we
suddenly
in our conversations
find words for the violence in our families
start to draw healthy boundaries
and hear stories of reconciliation
