GIFTING - NOT JUST FOR CHRISTMAS - WITH DOREEN SCHUMACHER
What is important to you when it comes to giving presents at Christmas time?
When it comes to gifts, it's important to me that they come from the heart and have a deeper meaning. That's why I like to give gifts throughout the year. You can usually find a more suitable moment or a more suitable gift.
Of course, my favorite gift is time with my friends & family. Like the long-planned trip to Sardinia with my mom, for example. Because in our fast-paced world, having time for each other is the most valuable thing.
How do you celebrate yourself at Christmas? Do you have self-care rituals?
I wish ;-) For us, Christmas is very much characterized by food, present madness and lazing around. And I'm happy to let that happen and try to enjoy it when the stress of everyday life and work has faded out for a few days.
Is there a social initiative that you are involved in?
I mainly support local projects, such as the DoArte Foundation in Bernau.
I also try to recycle everything that comes out of my productions.
And donate a lot to our school or to the former daycare center. Often it is plants, food or decorative items that are used for the next school performance.
I wrap presents for the children's charity with Dillon (my son) every year before Christmas so that he too can learn to share and give and enjoy putting a little smile on someone else's face.
