I have just got back home to London after 2 weeks in India. We left London on Xmas day so I have discovered another way of how not to have a lonely Xmas - travel on that day!

I always had the perception of being alone on Christmas could be sad and lonely but it's only that way if you choose that. I am lucky to have my family around me, but either way it's still a great time to reflect and enjoy the time.

Great idea to just veg out in front of the TV with a remote control and eat all of the chocolate yourself in peace! Happy holidays to you both and everyone else. As for me, I am off to India on Christmas Day for a family wedding and then visiting my ancestral home in Gujarat, which is the north west of India. No doubt I will be writing some future guest posts on GLZ about my learnings and insights in India:-) .-= Arvind Devalia´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.arvinddevalia.com/blog/2009/12/21/7-things-to-finally-stop-doing-this-year-and-forever/" rel="nofollow">7 Things to Finally Stop Doing This Year and Forever</a> =-.
