Holidays Stardate 2010: Sizzle or Fizzle?

You want to love it but it makes you crazy. You want to be like the happy folks in the pretty commercials but your family just doesn't act quite like that. Your kids want this and that but you've had to tighten or change your spending habits. Unpleasant memories steal your holiday joy. A number of things can weigh down our spirits at holiday time. We may not be able to control all the circumstances and we certainly can't control anyone's behavior. We can, however, take control of ourselves; our thoughts and feelings during the loving season. Is it time to challenge some of our holiday beliefs? What myths do we hold? Do we need to examine our motives and outcomes? What is the season really about? Does genuine joy have a price tag? Can you gift wrap happiness? Why do we accept being pressured and stressed out during the last part of every year? What do you want to take into a brand new year? So before your kids get a chance to sing “I Saw Mommy KICKING Santa Claus”- join the Inner Net Divas at the kitchen table for some holiday dish and a handy reality check!
