At the time of waiting for Christmas - to say, write and send each other bright thoughts, words and wishes! That is why I decided to share the Christmas greeting verses accumulated in my notebook.
Hearing the name Dietrich instantly conjures associations: war, black-and-white photography and cinema, cigarette smoke, a small stage in a tavern, an elegant maxi dress with an unusually slender waist, a massive fur collar, an icon of the era.

Divination - an intriguing matter, especially in times of change or doubt, when a person is uncertain about their future, their relationships, their financial situation, etc. One wonders what Latvia's government has divined in coffee grounds or otherwise, in approving next year's budget and action programme for preventing/not preventing the economic crisis. Whatever the case, everyone wants to know the most important things first, to intuitively sense and avoid misfortunes, to think one step ahead, to preserve relationships and stability.
It is not only for beauty that a woman chooses jewellery, especially jewellery that attracts the attention of those around her. Jewellery also serves as an attractor of the prying and unfavourable gazes of those around, and thereby also a deflector of negative energy away from the person herself. This wisdom turns out to be as old as the world itself, passed down from generation to generation. Each person is a particle of the world and arms themselves, creating a microcosm around themselves in the surrounding macrocosm.

Despite today's advanced technological world, I believe that Christmas cards in particular must be tangible and definitely handwritten (rather than printed or e-cards). Then these greetings seem to retain the warmth and tenderness of the hands that the writer puts into the few words, or even the rather standardised greeting phrases. Share your experience - are you also a sworn greeting-card writer?
According to ancient traditions the wreath has two meanings - the royal and the victorious. Pine or fir branches used in weaving wreaths are always green, symbolising hope and eternal life. The traditional colour of Advent is violet, indicating that a king is awaited, as well as that it is a time of fasting.
Reading specialists' articles on this topic online, the worst thing turns out to be that a sleep deficit practically cannot be caught up on - you can only scramble all your rhythms even further. Specialists claim that a person spends a third of their life sleeping. Madness, how much time is wasted, is it not?! Yet sleep is a source of energy, joy, and alertness.
Genuine joy that young people have preserved simplicity and been able to reflect their thoughts, feelings, and experiences so talentedly - both in original poetry and music, and in a successful arrangement of a familiar Latgalian folk song. Hats off!
