Bah! Humbug! is Perfectly Fine

It’s quite alright to say, “No!” to a holiday. It’s ok to write off an entire season. Sometimes holidays are worthy of looking forward to. Sometimes they’re not.

It’s perfectly fine to ignore the myriad external messages elbowing each other to influence us. People, companies, cultures, they all would love for us to spend, do, and feel exactly as they think we should.

Never mind them. Really. Sometimes some holidays (and/or seasons) are best ignored.

Do whatever works for you. Mark time, survive, thrive. Before you know it, it’ll be holiday-free January.

Whatever any one of us does, we’re never alone. We’re all unique yet all human. Be good to each other. Take good care of yourself!

  1. I’d eat those cookies anyway! Half the time I don’t know what day it is, so it is easy to miss the “minor” holidays–New Years and Christmas not so easy. I shall wish you Happy Holidays–include what you like–today as I go out to improve the economy this weekend.
