As Hanukah rolls around and so does Christmas and Quanza, I just
want to tell ya'll to have an awesome fabulous time and remember what is really
important. Today there are so many mentions of "buy this and you
will feel amazing," "your kid will love you," "you will get
promoted," "you will become 20% happier." Once you have fallen
into these traps you spend more time buying the thing that will make something
happen rather than doing that thing yourself. Some people believe that if you
give a lover a ring that they will become close and fall deeper in love with
that person. Sure, that is a really caring thing to do but it is the thought
that counts. If you want to get closer to a loved one then spend time with them
and if you see something they'd appreciate at a store then by golly if you
want, get it for them. Shopping isn't evil. It can be great to look at all of
the new inventions people make or support an artist in Thailand with their
earring business. But don’t rely on that item to make your relationship. It is
all about priorities. If you really want to get close to someone the best thing
you can do is spend time with them. Ask them questions. Listen. Don't buy a
ring to get close, get close to get close. We don't have to jump through all of
these materialistic hoops to get to what we want. No, we just have to do our
best and know that whatever happens was meant to be. The holidays can be
spent laughing and listening and sharing with your family. And that is what I
think they are all about.
I have included some pictures of what the holidays mean to me.
