Hi Mari, your article takes me back to the end of 2021, to Cottesloe beach in Perth, Australia. Everyone clapped as the sun went down over the Indian Ocean for the last time that year. It was such an emotional moment and brings me to tears just thinking about it. Despite everyone's individual experiences, there was an overwhelming sense of joyously saying goodbye to another year of the pandemic, and the hope that 2022 would mean losing our travel ban and reuniting with loved ones. Which it did indeed.

I am definitely feeling the melancholy and even pressure of a new year. This makes me realize how badly I need new experiences in different places to shift my thinking.
This was just the oddest most perfect piece to read after my “Flat-Earthers-witness-a-24hr-sun-at-Antarctica” rabbit hole because sometimes that’s what you do on Christmas! I love to flip my brain inside out to get a glimpse of ideas so foreign and bizarre, it shakes the crumbs from the crevices. While I still believe our home is a globe, I’m just SO invigorated by the forward-seeking ideology of a Southern Hemi New Year’s!!! And Sara’s comment about cheering the last sunset! And the thought of the Southern Cross tattoo as a reminder to pay mind to “the other side” (whether or not it’s weird/wrong/not your cup of tea is beside the point).
Merry Christmas, Mari. Much Love to You. And thank you for another year of gems like this one that I get to tuck away and relearn again for the 968th time ✨💖🥂
I've definitely wished that the holidays could be during a warmer time of year before since it seems like it would make it a much nicer time to travel and spend time with people. I love the whole idea of winter New Year's being about reflection and summer New Year's being about celebration. Super interesting!
I just moved back home from Santiago in June and am spending my first Christmas home in the North after years away. I love Christmas markets, candles and the dark and being with family again, but at the same time I’m homesick, in fact going back for a summer visit in 2 days! I wonder if I will always have a bit of both in me. Thank you for this lovely article.
