Hello and welcome to a new edition of...
|
|
|
0:00:17 – 0:00:19
No, the diversion.
|
|
|
0:00:19 – 0:00:22
Where I occasionally deviate from the subject.
|
|
|
0:00:22 – 0:00:25
It's Christmas, isn't it?
|
|
|
0:00:25 – 0:00:32
I don't know how it is with you, but with me Christmas is somehow the mood this year...
|
|
|
0:00:32 – 0:00:35
Pretty much in the ass.
|
|
|
0:00:35 – 0:00:38
We have...
|
|
|
0:00:38 – 0:00:44
different factors within the family and each time...
|
|
|
0:00:44 – 0:00:49
When I get in touch with them, the Christmas mood gets more and more confusing.
|
|
|
0:00:49 – 0:00:51
It's like...
|
|
|
0:00:51 – 0:00:58
such a packet, what just comes in the backpack and another small packet and another small packet and at some point such a pile forms on the backpack
|
|
|
0:00:58 – 0:01:02
and at some point the pile is quite large and then the backpack flips over.
|
|
|
0:01:02 – 0:01:07
Or the drip that makes the barrel overflow.
|
|
|
0:01:07 – 0:01:11
Or constantly dripping stone.
|
|
|
0:01:11 – 0:01:16
There are so many proverbs that symbolize this,
|
|
|
0:01:16 – 0:01:18
What's going on with me.
|
|
|
0:01:18 – 0:01:26
I mean, my Christmas mood is relatively minimal every year.
|
|
|
0:01:26 – 0:01:30
I like to make my apartment a little bit Christmasy.
|
|
|
0:01:30 – 0:01:33
I like a little...
|
|
|
0:01:33 – 0:01:38
Baking for Christmas.
|
|
|
0:01:38 – 0:01:44
I like to make gifts, all the time I like it so much with the kids.
|
|
|
0:01:44 – 0:01:52
I mean, I also liked to get gifts as a kid and the coolest gifts came either from my parents
|
|
|
0:01:52 – 0:01:56
Or an aunt and a cousin.
|
|
|
0:01:56 – 0:01:58
It's a big cousin.
|
|
|
0:01:58 – 0:02:01
They were always the coolest gifts.
|
|
|
0:02:01 – 0:02:04
They were always so on point.
|
|
|
0:02:04 – 0:02:10
The rest of the people have thought about it or are always in the universe, which interested me,
|
|
|
0:02:10 – 0:02:13
But that was never really on the point.
|
|
|
0:02:13 – 0:02:16
Yeah, and I'm trying to do it somehow.
|
|
|
0:02:16 – 0:02:22
I mean, the means and the methods are not the same now as they were then,
|
|
|
0:02:22 – 0:02:31
but I listen and try to talk to the others,
|
|
|
0:02:31 – 0:02:36
Who does what, who gets what, or who pays what.
|
|
|
0:02:36 – 0:02:40
That the kids have a great Christmas.
|
|
|
0:02:40 – 0:02:46
Whether they believe in Santa Claus or not doesn't matter.
|
|
|
0:02:46 – 0:02:55
Yes, there are some things that really mess up my Christmas.
|
|
|
0:02:55 – 0:03:04
And apart from the fact that this was really difficult from the outset,
|
|
|
0:03:04 – 0:03:09
especially this year's festival, because of certain conditions that I do not want to talk about here,
|
|
|
0:03:09 – 0:03:16
because such certain private matters somehow do not concern the general public,
|
|
|
0:03:16 – 0:03:18
It has now become even more complicated.
|
|
|
0:03:18 – 0:03:24
And just when I think about it, my naked hair curls,
|
|
|
0:03:24 – 0:03:32
Then the evil blood that exists and the one looked wrong and the one said wrong good day.
|
|
|
0:03:32 – 0:03:36
I mean, I'll say it the way it is.
|
|
|
0:03:36 – 0:03:42
The people involved are all beyond the 21st century.
|
|
|
0:03:42 – 0:03:50
Can you not pull yourself together for a certain time and constantly these short-circuit reactions,
|
|
|
0:03:50 – 0:04:01
You're no longer my friend on Facebook, I don't follow you anymore, you're not this, you're not that.
|
|
|
0:04:01 – 0:04:07
I'm ripping you off the flow of information about me now.
|
|
|
0:04:07 – 0:04:09
How old are we?
|
|
|
0:04:09 – 0:04:18
That's what you do as a pubescent teenager, possibly even as a female teenager.
|
|
|
0:04:18 – 0:04:29
If you are so in full juice of your hormones and the brain is drowning in various neurotransmitters,
|
|
|
0:04:29 – 0:04:36
This is how you behave, but not as an exciting, adult person.
|
|
|
0:04:36 – 0:04:45
I always find it so unfortunate that people never think about it.
|
|
|
0:04:45 – 0:04:50
What they think, do, and do to other people.
|
|
|
0:04:50 – 0:04:57
And I always find it very bad that you try to punish someone else,
|
|
|
0:04:57 – 0:05:03
But in the end, it hits the most innocent of the innocent, the children.
|
|
|
0:05:03 – 0:05:14
If now it is said that I am not going to the Christmas party because the one and the one who did or did not do this and that,
|
|
|
0:05:14 – 0:05:18
It hits the children the hardest.
|
|
|
0:05:18 – 0:05:21
Above all, the sooner the relationship is.
|
|
|
0:05:21 – 0:05:29
I had conversations today where I thought, I mean, we have the second Advent today.
|
|
|
0:05:29 – 0:05:32
It can't all be true.
|
|
|
0:05:32 – 0:05:36
This family has had a terrible trauma.
|
|
|
0:05:36 – 0:05:51
And this terrible trauma I see with running fanfares, collapsing doors again up and running.
|
|
|
0:05:51 – 0:05:59
I have to invent new proverbs for it to emphasize the vehemence of it.
|
|
|
0:05:59 – 0:06:08
I see the catastrophe coming up and coming and this time there is no one there to save himself.
|
|
|
0:06:08 – 0:06:15
And all this shit and I don't know how many times to repeat myself.
|
|
|
0:06:15 – 0:06:21
The whole shit with the love of the family has to take on itself again.
|
|
|
0:06:21 – 0:06:28
This one person did it once and burned his fingers enormously.
|
|
|
0:06:28 – 0:06:30
And that person won't do it again.
|
|
|
0:06:30 – 0:06:37
And now I stand there and look at it and see the same thing happen again.
|
|
|
0:06:37 – 0:06:46
And neither one party nor the other or the third party does anything.
|
|
|
0:06:46 – 0:06:49
It's so violent.
|
|
|
0:06:49 – 0:06:58
I mean, I tried to do all the things for me in different ways.
|
|
|
0:06:58 – 0:07:08
But the interesting thing is that these people who represent my family give themselves a moist kehrecht about it,
|
|
|
0:07:08 – 0:07:22
how other people are doing what they are doing because they are in their narrow spectrum of existence
|
|
|
0:07:22 – 0:07:35
They are not in a position to simply grasp the scope of their actions and actions, their actions and decisions.
|
|
|
0:07:35 – 0:07:46
I mean, I'm someone who has a lot of understanding for people and I've had to pay a lot of tuition.
|
|
|
0:07:46 – 0:07:54
But in some places I really wonder why this has come the way it has come.
|
|
|
0:07:54 – 0:08:07
Because the real reason for the jump was love and that this turns so into the negative.
|
|
|
0:08:07 – 0:08:10
That's wow.
|
|
|
0:08:10 – 0:08:18
Brachial. One could somehow write a theoretical treatise about it,
|
|
|
0:08:18 – 0:08:23
Love has done all the bad things in the world.
|
|
|
0:08:23 – 0:08:28
But that's a completely different thing.
|
|
|
0:08:28 – 0:08:32
I don't know how to deal with Christmas and so on.
|
|
|
0:08:32 – 0:08:41
Because, in my opinion, now I really just want to lock myself in my apartment
|
|
|
0:08:41 – 0:08:48
and with as few people as possible to enjoy the festival, which is still there.
|
|
|
0:08:48 – 0:08:59
Yes, Christmas has been a topic on this page a few times, in this podcast.
|
|
|
0:08:59 – 0:09:08
Sometimes in the format, sometimes in the format, sometimes a podcast post, so a blog post.
|
|
|
0:09:08 – 0:09:11
Again and again in partial form.
|
|
|
0:09:11 – 0:09:18
Because Christmas, as they say, is very emotional.
|
|
|
0:09:18 – 0:09:24
I know condoms are upstairs.
|
|
|
0:09:24 – 0:09:32
There are so many feelings and so many expectations.
|
|
|
0:09:32 – 0:09:33
That's unbelievable.
|
|
|
0:09:33 – 0:09:40
No one can really live up to that expectation.
|
|
|
0:09:40 – 0:09:45
Not for nothing are the psychiatrists so full at Christmas time,
|
|
|
0:09:45 – 0:09:53
that you have extra beds not only in the rooms, but in the corridors.
|
|
|
0:09:53 – 0:10:00
This is an interesting experience everyone should have had.
|
|
|
0:10:00 – 0:10:02
Why is that so?
|
|
|
0:10:02 – 0:10:10
I can't tell you, but I just believe that people's socio-cultural imprint
|
|
|
0:10:10 – 0:10:16
It's just such a big issue.
|
|
|
0:10:16 – 0:10:19
Yeah, even if that sounds kind of silly here.
|
|
|
0:10:19 – 0:10:26
But it is so, we are drilled on it from an early age, not embossed, but drilled,
|
|
|
0:10:26 – 0:10:28
Christmas has to be perfect.
|
|
|
0:10:28 – 0:10:32
Christmas, the great, perfect celebration of love.
|
|
|
0:10:32 – 0:10:37
I mean, let's be honest, a lot of the people that come,
|
|
|
0:10:37 – 0:10:40
You may see them once or twice a year.
|
|
|
0:10:40 – 0:10:44
The rest you find pretty shit and the rest,
|
|
|
0:10:44 – 0:10:49
The couple who are still there, they're okay.
|
|
|
0:10:49 – 0:10:54
A sandbox buddy of mine, he once said something.
|
|
|
0:10:54 – 0:11:01
We had been in the sandbox and I learned that there was a birthday party going on somehow.
|
|
|
0:11:01 – 0:11:07
And he'd rather sit in the sandbox and be there to bud than party with the people.
|
|
|
0:11:07 – 0:11:12
Then he said, you, I only see them once a year anyway, why should I celebrate with the people?
|
|
|
0:11:12 – 0:11:16
Yeah, that's the same thing.
|
|
|
0:11:16 – 0:11:22
Why should I go with some people I've found quite complicated before?
|
|
|
0:11:22 – 0:11:28
Toxic in places, then sit there and celebrate?
|
|
|
0:11:28 – 0:11:35
It's not like an ex-girlfriend, the parents.
|
|
|
0:11:35 – 0:11:41
where that was loving and the time, even where we stayed once longer,
|
|
|
0:11:41 – 0:11:50
Because there were problems with the car, you just felt appreciated.
|
|
|
0:11:50 – 0:11:54
There was a feeling that you were happy to be there.
|
|
|
0:11:54 – 0:11:59
Such a warmth, such a nest warmth, let's call it that.
|
|
|
0:11:59 – 0:12:05
But with me in the family, no matter how hard people try,
|
|
|
0:12:05 – 0:12:09
Christmas has always been a torment to me.
|
|
|
0:12:09 – 0:12:11
But I'm not the one who stands up and says,
|
|
|
0:12:11 – 0:12:15
I'm slowly becoming such a grinch.
|
|
|
0:12:15 – 0:12:18
I am the one who dares to say that.
|
|
|
0:12:18 – 0:12:21
I'm glad these days are over.
|
|
|
0:12:21 – 0:12:22
No, no.
|
|
|
0:12:22 – 0:12:24
Which is not the case.
|
|
|
0:12:24 – 0:12:31
The child in me would like to have this magically wonderful party.
|
|
|
0:12:31 – 0:12:39
Only I believe the adult who is systematically becoming more and more
|
|
|
0:12:39 – 0:12:45
What do you call it, you've become an asshole?
|
|
|
0:12:45 – 0:12:51
I think even to a sarcastic asshole, he doesn't need that.
|
|
|
0:12:51 – 0:12:58
But the child in me would like to have this magical party again.
|
|
|
0:12:58 – 0:13:02
Yeah, it's like that.
|
|
|
0:13:02 – 0:13:09
Nevertheless, I am this year especially in the last few weeks
|
|
|
0:13:09 – 0:13:18
Several times positively surprised by total strangers.
|
|
|
0:13:18 – 0:13:21
But that has to be said on the other side.
|
|
|
0:13:21 – 0:13:24
I mean, this medal has two sides.
|
|
|
0:13:24 – 0:13:30
And if there's one that really surprises me,
|
|
|
0:13:30 – 0:13:35
This shows that hops and malt are good for humanity.
|
|
|
0:13:35 – 0:13:39
At least for me, it's not completely lost.
|
|
|
0:13:39 – 0:13:44
I had already mentioned this a few times somehow on the sidelines or somewhere,
|
|
|
0:13:44 – 0:13:48
That financially this project is on very shaky legs here.
|
|
|
0:13:48 – 0:13:52
And now and then there are people who actually throw in a valley,
|
|
|
0:13:52 – 0:13:54
To keep this going.
|
|
|
0:13:54 – 0:13:56
I am impressed with it every time.
|
|
|
0:13:56 – 0:14:01
And even if I offer this opportunity and
|
|
|
0:14:01 – 0:14:03
It never really communicates that way.
|
|
|
0:14:03 – 0:14:09
I am always surprised and frightened that someone is doing this.
|
|
|
0:14:09 – 0:14:12
So thank you.
|
|
|
0:14:12 – 0:14:16
Thank you very much, thank you very much.
|
|
|
0:14:16 – 0:14:22
Without you, it won't always be the way it is right now.
|
|
|
0:14:22 – 0:14:27
And also the possibilities, they would be different.
|
|
|
0:14:27 – 0:14:33
Yes, I think there will be one or two more episodes,
|
|
|
0:14:33 – 0:14:36
There will be a diversion until the end of the year.
|
|
|
0:14:36 – 0:14:38
One in any case.
|
|
|
0:14:38 – 0:14:42
And yes.
|
|
|
0:14:42 – 0:14:45
What am I saying now?
|
|
|
0:14:45 – 0:14:50
Have a happy third advent.
|
|
|
0:14:50 – 0:14:58
If you have heard this, I wish you and otherwise Merry Christmas.
|
|
|
0:14:58 – 0:15:00
New year.
|
|
|
0:15:00 – 0:15:03
I hope you had a happy new year.
|
|
|
0:15:03 – 0:15:05
I don't know when you'll hear that.
|
|
|
0:15:05 – 0:15:08
Yeah, and what else do I say?
|
|
|
0:15:08 – 0:15:11
I repeat myself somehow.
|
|
|
0:15:11 – 0:15:13
What about this digression?
|
|
|
0:15:13 – 0:15:17
This time I'm not even so deviant, but
|
|
|
0:15:17 – 0:15:27
I've probably been around a topic without saying exactly what it's all about.
|
|
|
0:15:27 – 0:15:30
But I hope you have understood my fears and needs,
|
|
|
0:15:30 – 0:15:37
Which I have in regards to Christmas and family in goose feet.
|
|
|
0:15:37 – 0:15:43
Thank you for being there and leave me a few comments.
|
|
|
0:15:43 – 0:15:48
I wonder if you have any similar experiences or
|
|
|
0:15:48 – 0:15:51
What are your thoughts on this subject.
|
|
|
0:15:51 – 0:15:52
Goodbye, Sasha.

Not episode description:
Welcome to the latest episode of our ‘Digression’ podcast! In this episode, we immerse ourselves in the fascinating world of Christmas and explore the enchanting expression ‘Christmas festivals are emotional’. What does this term really mean and how can we experience it in our Christmas celebration?
Our journey begins with Christmas being more than just gifts and decorations. The expression ‘genuine’ could indicate that the emotions that accompany Christmas are sincere and profound. We will discuss how Christmas can be a time of coming together, sharing love and reflecting on the past year.
Perhaps ‘Christmas is already emotional’ also means that Christmas is already marked by authenticity. We will talk about how we can personally make Christmas authentic by reflecting on the values and traditions that are most important to us.
This episode will also delve into the world of artistic and poetic expressions during the Christmas season. We will think about how people in literature, music and art capture and convey the unique atmosphere of Christmas.
Finally, we will share some events and anecdotes about unforgettable Christmas moments that best describe the feeling of ‘feeling real’. These stories come from various sources and are a wonderful expression of Christmas magic.
Join us in the world of ‘Christmas is already emotional’ and be inspired by the deep meaning and beauty of Christmas.
Sources:
- The Badische Zeitung newspaper: Articles about Christmas and emotions.
- Salt shakers: Insights into the meaning of ‘feeling-real’.
- My own experiences and stories from the Christmas season.
Correct episode description:
Finally, I would like to mention one important point: Let's dive deep into the dual nature of Christmas, a celebration that is often considered a source of stress, but can also be a symbol of harmony and joy. I explore how Christmas is experienced differently in different families – for some it is a time of chaos and hustle and bustle, for others it is a moment of cohesion and calm. With touching stories, I illuminate how traditional Christmas customs can contribute to the promotion of warmth and community and how these holidays remind us of the importance of time with our loved ones. This episode invites you to look at Christmas from a new angle and to appreciate the true spirit of the festival in all its facets. Join me on a journey that has the potential to fundamentally change your perspective on Christmas and family celebrations.
