Change Your Viewpoint

The holidays can really get on your nerves.
The stores start playing Christmas music before Halloween.
You are bombarded with sales flyers and media ads.
(It's almost worse than election time!)
Folks are fighting to get the last best toy.
Tempers are short and patience is thin.
But . . .
Try this if you are feeling a bit beaten by the blitz.


Change Your Viewpoint


Watch a child's eyes.
See the sheer, unfiltered excitement as they play.
Share the utter joy at their opportunity to talk to Santa.
Really listen to the lyrics of some of those Christmas songs.
Understand what giving a few dollars to a family in need can do.
Just sit and enjoy the lights somewhere.
Realize the real Reason for the Season.


Don't let the coupon-crazed, toy-terrorists get you down.
You're in charge of your own mood.
Change your viewpoint.
Make it magical!
