This is one of the greatest times of year - Holidays, Crazy Families getting together etc.. (everyone has crazy in their family) kids full of wonder and awe over Christmas and Santa Claus etc.. People are generally happier - at least the ones I run into - this is the time of year when I feel like a kid again - I'm sorry if the dark or the cold brings some people down - I get up at 5:15 in the morning and yes it is dark last night I got home from work at 9:00 and yes it was dark but I get over it.
This is my favorite Holiday Season so I choose to be happy just like I choose to NOPE everyday. For anyone that feels like they have the winter blues - I say go visit a soup kitchen and help out those who are truly hungry and cold - go to a few holiday festivals or local venues - put on your favorite holiday movie whether it is an old charlie brown Christmas movie or Miracle on 34th Street - if that doesn't help then watch Babes in Toy Land or Mighty Joe Young -either way we are all blessed to have a roof over our heads and family and or friends to share our lives with. This will be my first Christmas as a single parent and I plan on making it the best Christmas my kids ever had - I know they will be sad when mommy isn't there on Christmas Eve or Christmas morning but they will see her later Christmas Day -they have a reason to have the blues this season and yet they have been amazing and I could not be more proud - if they are able to be happy anyone can be - so I say Choose to Fight Winter Blues and Enjoy The Spirit of the Holidays!
