In fact, on Christmas Day, itself, I’ll be waking up next to a stranger. I thought they’d think I’d become some kind of crazy hippy and it was all a bit weird. The following Christmas I did a silent retreat again This time I had to share a room with a stranger. On Christmas Day, we exchanged presents, had a turkey dinner with all the trimmings, played games, watched TV and ate chocolate. I’ve always believed in New Year’s resolutions and I think a Christmas retreat can really set you up for that.
