Linda de Mol is looking forward to the holidays for the first time and “it’s even more terrible than a root canal.” She writes it in the new LINDA. Where she says he’s been singing along to holiday music since the end of November, she thinks this year’s holidays will become more of a reminder of last year’s bad events.
De Mol has never seen the word “crisis” go by as often as this year. It refers, inter alia, to the refugee crisis and the energy crisis.
The presenter also writes that others kiss their partners at midnight on January 1st and she herself is then alone. Last year, De Mol broke off her relationship with Jeroen Steenbergen, who was a leader of the band The voice of Holland until he confessed to transgressive behavior.
According to De Mol, the solution to lonely and conflicted holidays is that people should take better care of each other. The presenter thinks that people should do nicer things for others, which will make them feel better about themselves. He also thinks it’s helpful if people aren’t looking at Instagram to see how much fun others are having.
