Question: How does an English Nudist Spend Christmas?
Answer: Fully Clothed!
In which our nude correspondent Liz
Egger gets seasonal.
(first published December 2005)
OK. Before I go any further I have to apologise to those of you who may not
understand much of this article.
One of the joys of being a naturist is that we share our passion with so many
people around the world.
But it's also what makes an international nudist audience difficult to write
for.
Outside of naturism we enjoy different cultures, and our religious festivals
such as Christmas may be unfamiliar to some of you. Even those of you who
celebrate Christmas may do so indifferent ways, and the traditional customs
which I mention below may have little meaning for you.
If so, I can only apologise again, and promise you that the in the next edition we'll all be back on familiar ground.
Anyway, much as I love it, I don't think the Christmas period is particularly
"nudist friendly" .
I'm afraid the two things just don't go together.
L.A.'s most dynamic los angeles acting classes is your choice!
It's probably because we live in the UK. You see, here we have The Great British
Weather.
Now I know that many of you live in the Southern Hemisphere where Christmas
occurs in your summertime and you can celebrate the holiday naked in the
sunshine.
But up here, in the north, Christmas happens slap bang in the middle of the
winter and in the UK it's cold enough to freeze the brass knobs off a bedstead.
I'm a nudist, not a masochist, and the lower the temperature the more I become
resolutely (and snugly) textile.
Look at me today, for instance.
I'm writing this in a lovely warm house with the heating full on and a
log fire roaring half way up the chimney, but outside it's minus three degrees
and it LOOKS so cold that I'm togged up like Nanook of the North on a whale
hunt.
Call me soft if you want, but just the thought of sitting here naked chills me
rigid.
But it's not just the weather.
It's the whole Christmas atmosphere.
I love it, but it just doesn't go with being naked.
I mean, just consider. The whole thing's fraught with difficulty.
Log fires (sparks). Holly (prickly). Mistletoe (poisonous) Ivy (itchy)
Open the door naked to a bunch of carol singers and you'll get locked up until
Easter.
Try decorating a Christmas tree in the buff and you'll be scrubbing pine resin
out of your skin for a month.
And what in Heaven's name DO you buy a nudist for Christmas?
( For
some suggestions see here
and here)
Now don't get me wrong. I enjoy a nudist Christmas party in a sauna or
someone's hot tub as much as anyone.
But at this time of the year nothing beats meeting good friends - fully dressed
- in a splendid old coaching inn with a log fire crackling merrily in the
hearth and a jolly landlord dispensing mulled wine and mince pies.
It just seems so ...well... appropriate.
That's it for another year folks. If you have been, thanks for reading.
Let's all remember the real reason we celebrate Christmas, and try to spread
some Peace and Goodwill in 2006. As always, it looks as if we may need it.
And please, have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Peaceful New Year
yourself
See you in January.
Regards
Liz
