   +++<u>Eat</u>+++
   
  -Spend time eating what you love. Eat slowly and mindfully. Enjoy it! Some of my favourite moments are spent in the kitchen cooking with my partner Stefan. We get creative and have fun with it. If it burns or tastes horrible, don't sweat it, make simple nachos or order take-out!

  For all four "big" days/evenings, we stayed home and cooked lovely meals together. We also spent 2 of our 10 days off in Hamburg, our favourite German city. There we watched Rogue One at the http://www.savoy-filmtheater.de/ [Savoy Theatre]. This theatre is wonderful because it shows films in their original version, which can be hard to find in Germany. They also have Vegan popcorn - salty, sweet, and caramel! We walked around the beautiful city, peaked into shops, had treats at the Weihnachtsmarkt, and bought our favourite coffee at the [http://www.speicherstadt-kaffee.de/]Speicherstadt Kaffeerösterei. For dinner we ate delicious vegan pizza at http://www.pizza-bande.de/ [Pizza Bande] and Sushi at http://www.raw-like-sushi.de/en/ [Raw Like Sushi] (foodporn at the end of the post). The rest of the time was spent relaxing at home reading, napping, doing yoga, baking, or out with friends. Our biggest outing this holiday season was our friends' small and wonderful wedding.
  
  I have to be honest, it has been the most wonderful Christmas time since I stopped believing in Santa Claus. The past week was so calm, relaxing, and fulfilling. I had time to let go of work, find myself again, and do what I love. I even found new passions and interest; this only happens when my brain is calm.

  +++<u>Minimize Decorations</u>+++
  
  If you hate decorating and find it stressful, minimize it! Minimalist decorations look modern and chic. This year, we decorated our home with 1 small tree with stars wrapped around it, 3 homemade origami trees, and a starprint table runner. We named our small Christmas tree Chuck. Chuck, the tree.
