happy holidays!
It’s my understanding that throughout the next month, our hearts will open up a little more with each day and we’ll become more giving by the second. That’s the best part of the holiday spirit.
I’m a huge fan of the Thanksgiving Hangover, which seems to last until January 1st, when we all wake up with an actual hangover. You know the one: from the late night that comes with celebrating the New Year.
This could be the time when you begin pondering your coming resolution (and how you’ll break it), that big end-of-the-year bonus, or the amount of time you’ll get to spend with the ones you care about…but whatever it is, be grateful for something.
Smile at the fact that we’re all imperfect for a reason, which leads to us noting a resolution for change. Laugh at the fact that you eventually broke it, but remember that you at least gave it a shot. (And for those of you who’ll will end up keeping it, don’t wait for someone to pat you on the back when you can pat yourself. It’s something to be proud of!)
(Internally) Puff out your chest at the fact that you’ve got a job that’ll give you a bonus, but rationalize and realize that others may not. Help someone out if you can. But if you can’t, a positive thought can go a long way.
Fill a room with warmth. Don’t make the holiday spirit do it on its own. Whether you’re with your own family or someone else’s, make someone else feel special in some way. You don’t have to buy a person the most expensive present to show them something special. Write a note or even say it to someone’s face. Lend a hand. Help those you care about remember that just because you’re not around all the time, you’re still thinking of them.
Thoughts travel much further than objects.

This all sounds like it should be in a magazine.... maybe like home and garden? is it all true? can it be possible that people look forward to the holiday season? or do the dread the last minute work that has to be done, the overtime to have the money to by the gifts people have become accustomed to having? The extra busy crowds at best buy or the mall and even the grocery store, which you are going just to get something to eat for dinner? if not that then maybe your normal commute to your poker game takes and extra 10 mins each way because of all the extra travelers?
the good news is (I hope) that we all do this for those few days of happiness and solitude from everything but what makes us happiest the most.
