Over this month I will be focusing on my remembrances of Christmas and I hope you enjoy the journey. This year with all the chaos around us, it appears to me that we need Xmas or at least the spirit of Xmas sooner not later. 

Outdoor Xmas lights in my community were up on November 12. Diving into the Chaos of the Holidays throws us a lifeline of sanity amidst the economic and social crises
facing us. In the midst of gift-wrapping mayhem and tangled tinsel, take time
to remind yourself that pondering life is as essential as untangling Christmas
lights.

While the holidays
might be all about jingle bells and gingerbread, we need to take time to
remember those who won’t be joining the party this year. In between sips of
eggnog, appreciating the good stuff and giving a nod to personal Growth, take a
breath and remember the good times and the people who cannot join us.

So, as we wrestle with
the wrapping paper and try not to burn the yule log, take a moment to reflect
on the year’s triumphs, fiascos, and questionable fashion choices. Let us
look on the positive, it is not just about surviving the economic and social chaos
it is about enjoying the holiday chaos; it’s about conquering it with a
reflective grin and maybe a dash of glitter thrown in to help Santa find your
home.
