Greetings fellow bloggers! As the Christmas season approaches, I thought I would offer up some excellent holiday ideas for you. Although I have passed on and communicate with the living via this blog (and Craig), I still am able to come up with good ideas for the Yule tide season.

1. Avoid office gift exchanges. They are dumb and a waste of money. Nobody ever "gets something they want". Instead, encourage your office to take five to ten bucks each and donate the money, or buy a present for a child who is less fortunate.

2. Sit your ass down and fill out Christmas cards! Why must people neglect to do this. Many of you think about it all year and then when it gets down to Christmas time, forget to do it. It is not too late. Make them Holiday cards and they can arrive in January as well. My advice--do 3 cards per evening, stop and then repeat the same thing the next night. You will feel better.

3. Stressed because of a family visit? Don't be. Accept people for who they are and plan things that make you happy and content. For example, if you are staying at your parents and it is typically boring, take a book, a portable CD/DVD player or a laptop if you have one. Most of all, don't go in with a set of expectations. Let it happen.

4. Leave me a holiday comment!! It makes me feel good :)

Make the Yule tide gay my friends.

Mr. B
