Many Bulgarians hope for a Christmas miracle, says psychologist

During this year many Bulgarians prepared their Christmas decorations very early, lavishly decorating their homes. The psychologist Bilyana Stoyanova sees in this a hope for a miracle which could "stop the flow of black statistics and we could start living life as before". 

The psychologist believes the epidemic puts us in a test situation, and the preparation for Christmas coincides with the period of isolation and the uncertainty that comes afterwards. Bilyana Stoyanova also told BTA that tidying up and decorating the home reduces the feeling of helplessness, helps us to organize our thoughts, to take care of ourselves and our loved ones. All this gives us a sense of meaning and connects us with reality and the people around us, she believes.
