Christmas is a time to embrace your inner child.
It is never too late to channel your inner child. Christmas poses many opportunities for us to do just that.
Whether it's decorating the tree or lounging on the couch watching Christmas movies, there are many causes for over-the-top excitement, something which I have branded - appropriately - Buddy The
Elf Syndrome.
Christmas is also a time, if you are unleashing said child, to reflect. I discovered that most recently when I stumbled upon one of my favourite all-time movies, Barbie in the Nutcracker.
Please don't laugh. Yes, I admit it. I, a grown 18-year-old woman still possesses an intense love and adoration for the perfect plastic heroine coveted in many a toy collection.
But I am not ashamed. The reason why is because, even though it's an outdated piece based on a classic ballet, to me it is timeless transportation back to when I was 5, back to when life was simple with no cares or concerns.
