Holiday MAGIC- not madness 2016!

Do you love the holidays?
Can't stand them?
Don't care either way?

I've felt all three ways
at different times in my life.

Here's what I love about the holidays:

1) Lights, lights and more lights. 
The dark winter months wear on me. Got cute little lights illuminating a room, or hung on a tree? Sure, I'll take them. It's as good as Vitamin D to me. 

2) Peace on earth and goodwill to all.
Talk of miracles and magic.
For real?
In mainstream culture?
Yes please.
I'll take some goodwill + peace on earth
with my white lights.

3) Christmas crafting.
While receiving gifts is fun,
we try to focus on
giving handmade gifts with love.


And here's what I can't stand about the holidays:

1) Not every one celebrates Christmas.
In fact, most people on earth don't celebrate Christmas. It can be obnoxious and ethnocentric to think Christmas is a given.

2) Can we say consumerism?
From Thanksgiving to Christmas,
1 million additional tons of trash
*a week* ends up in our landfills.
Yuck.
And as much as I love to shop,
and my son does get Christmas gifts,
a Christmas gift from Amazon
isn't how I define my love
for my family-
Christmas or not.

3) Too much pressure. Too many expectations. Too much stress.
Crazy to do lists.
Feelings of depression, loneliness,
and stress increasing over the holidays.
Alcohol and drug abuse increases this season.
Sad, but true.
