They say that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting different results - so why do we keep zipping up the same straitjacket?

My advice this month is to remember the special time we get to share every December, to take heed of our behaviours and feelings during this period and to hold onto those values and attitudes for every month and make it a way of living, not just for Christmas. Life and our relationships are what’s magical, not the annual crystalline-snow illusion that capitalism re-activates in us.
