Everybody Has to Have a Holiday List

Here's mine:

THINGS TO AVOID AND EMBRACE OVER THE HOLIDAY SEASON

AVOID:

1. Watching the movie It’s a Wonderful Life, again
2. Eating the third piece of pumpkin pie
3. Sloppy, wet kisses from people you only see once a year (it’s flu season, after all)
4. Egg Nog (what’s a nog, really?)
5. Listening to radio stations that only play Christmas music, and start on November 1
6. Articles that tell you how to have stress-free holidays
   

EMBRACE

1. Great big hugs from people you’re happy to see, even if it’s only once a year
2. That second piece of pumpkin pie
3. Snow – especially while it’s still white and fluffy
4. Reading your favorite book, again
5. Listening to Nat King Cole sing, “The Christmas Song” as often as you like
6. Sitting in silence and feeling part of something bigger than yourself
