The Holidays
Hope everyone had a great Thankgiving. Now, the holidaus begin. Now the insanity starts. But, it can be a sweet insanity.
You do not have to go over the top. No need for 30 foot trees or ebough lighrs to be seen from outer space. You do not have to buy everyone several $10,000 gifts
Little Tommy does not need his own drone and Little Mary does not nee outfits from top designeres. If they disagree, you need to have a long talk with them/
Men do not need new BMWs and women do not need 500 carat diamomds. And nobody needs to go to every party in the USA.
Nor do any of us need to dine on champagne, caviar and pate for every holiday meal
What we all need is to around friends and family. We need to celebrate without indulging to the point of blatant debauchery. Perhaps, most of all, we need to remember the jots of giving, sharing and charity.
Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah and a Happy and prosperous new Year to us all.

Christmas Carols
I hope you live somewhere that has some kind of group that will be doing Christmas carols. Hearing live caroling is one of the Holiday's great joys. Whether it be a group of kids, going door to door (is that still done? if not, it should be) or a Church choir or some community group, Hearing carols sung is the best way to put the Season's joy in your heart.
If nothing else, why not sing them around your house. Have the family join in or treat them to a solo performance. Can't sing? Who cares? It is the thought and joy that counts.
Listen to them on the radio on CD or even on TV shows. Why not? The Season only comes once a year.
Gathering and singing is one of mankind's oldest and loveliest pastimes, as old, if not even older, than story telling and the Christmas season gives us all a chance to relive this ancient tradition.
Not religious? Why let that stop you? There are countless secular Christmas songs and it is really that feeling of specialness that makes the season glow.
Christmas is more than shopping. I know, every year people say that. Try actually living that truth and you will have a more fulfilling and joyous season. Merry Christmas
