Santa Clause, I want…

What do you want for Christmas boys and girls?  This is a time of holiday cheer and joy to the world.  Yet this can also be a trying time for people.  Many of us get depressed during this time of year, either due to the association of a bad occurrence in our past, the fact that the season brings expectations that we feel we are not equipped to partake in, or maybe we don’t feel that we deserve to be happy.  So we psychologically feel the reverse. Bah Humbug!

 

Shake it off.  Get over it.  The only thing between you and happiness is you, so get out of your way.  Our society has developed colors through lights and costumes, sight through decorations, smells through evergreen coniferous trees, and taste through holiday feasts.  All this tantalizing of you senses to get you in the mood to forget your problems and focus on family, friends and giving to others.  Or spending your money to make this economy go round.  So reassociate good times with this time of year.  Remember, money is not always required, love will do just fine.  I won’t even talk about the birth of our Lord and savior, except for a quick reminder to the Christians, don’t loose sight, keep praises within your traditions.

 

So what do you want for Christmas?  Love, peace, a new car, a new husband, jewelry, a power tool or your two front teeth?  How about this request, HONESTY?  But be careful what you ask for, you just might ruin next years Christmas with the association of the truth that you wished for.  You may want to save the honesty for New Years, so you’ll have 365 days to digest it.  For now, ignorance may be bliss.

 

Merry Christmas everyone
