Tis the season to say the heck with it by da-AL

Holidays can be nice — and terrible! Family can bring us to our knees — both to swoon and to cringe. Romance can make our hearts flutter or seize.

From Halloween to New Year’s, at least here in the U.S., 24/7 we’re inundated with messages of how this is the time for families and lovers. We’re instructed to either kiss, or to kiss and make up.

Sometimes they’re not possible. At times, they aren’t in our best interest.

Traditional or sacred, I invite you to 161215gingercujoin me in acknowledging that some holiday seasons are best ignored. It’s ok to give them a rest. Some years, it’s fine if we just get through them!

We’re allowed to do whatever it takes to mark time, to survive, to thrive through and into gentle holiday-clear January.

Happiness Between Tails speaks to and from the heart. It connects lovers — of pets, authors, books — and of my still-unreleased novels, “Flamenco + the Sitting Cat” and “Tango + the Sitting Cat.” The stories are my love letters to all who fear they're too odd, too damaged, too old, too whatever to find happiness.

  4. So true… certain celebrations have become so traditional that they are almost “Clichés”… First and foremost, we need to remember what Christmas means, as it seems the festivity is all about gifts and consumerism, most times.. Sigh. Wishing you the best! 😀
