HOLIDAY PUN OF THE MOMENT
If they hold a pie eating contest this holiday season, which song will they sing?
Oh, Come all ye facefuls.
CHILD'S PERSPECTIVE OF THE MOMENT
The highlight of our family zoo trip was a peacock showing off its brilliantly colored plumage. My four-year-old son was particularly taken with the stunning, shining feathers. That evening, he couldn't wait to tell his father: "Dad, guess what! I saw a Christmas tree come out of a chicken!"

MOTIVATIONAL WORDS OF THE MOMENT
“Never be afraid to try something new. Remember, amateurs built the ark. Professionals built the Titanic.”
QUESTION OF THE MOMENT
At what age am I old enough to know better?
GRATITUDE IN THE MOMENT
Yup Thanksgiving is long gone, but there is still reason to give thanks every month of the year, not just on Turkey Day! The Wall Steet Journal just quoted another round of university studies that states that people who feel grateful more often have more energy, more optimism, more social connections and more happiness than those who do not. Luckily I am thankful for you, my dear subscribers all the time! Research also shows that if people practice an attitude of gratitude, they are less likely to be depressed, envious, greedy or alcoholics. Upbeat folks filled with gratitude earn more money, sleep better, get sick less, exercise more often. Wow….lots of reasons to count those blessings, huh?
SANTA SCARE OF THE MOMENT
BEST TIME-SAVER OF THE MOMENT
I am always on the lookout for great deals and resources for my clients and subscribers, especially when I preach work smarter not harder, so you have time for life balance and moments of joy. Just heard about this one and checked it out myself. Shoppers go to the website www.Alice.com (named after the helpful friendly maid, Alice on the ol’ TV show, The Brady Bunch). Sign up at no charge, select from numerous household items – you can find generic or your own favorite brand names (shampoo, dog food, paper towels, trash bags, etc). Order what you want and Alice will give you a discount, apply any coupons they find for you and send it to your house with FREE shipping. I had just run out of dog food and didn’t have time to run to the store in between client meetings, when the bright blue Alice box arrived with my groceries, including the dogfood cans. How cool (and easy was that!) The service also sends you an e-mail reminding you when you are getting low on your items. A real time-saver!
MISUNDERSTANDING OF THE MOMENT
You Better be Good

Sarah and her thirteen-year-old sister had been fighting a lot this year. This happens when you combine a headstrong two-year-old, who is sure she is always right, with a young adolescent.

Sarah's parents, trying to take advantage of her newfound interest in Santa Claus, reminded the two-year-old that Santa was watching and doesn't like it when children fight. This had little impact.

"I'll just have to tell Santa about your misbehavior," the mother said as she picked up the phone and dialed. Sarah's eyes grew big as her mother asked "Mrs. Claus" (really Sarah's aunt; Santa's real line was busy) if she could put Santa on the line. Sarah's mouth dropped open as Mom described to Santa (Sarah's uncle) how the two-year-old was acting. But, when Mom said that Santa wanted to talk to her, she reluctantly took the phone.

Santa, in a deepened voice, explained to her how there would be no presents Christmas morning to children who fought with their sisters. He would be watching, and he expected things to be better from now on.

Sarah, now even more wide eyed, solemnly nodded to each of Santa's remarks and silently hung the phone up when he was done. After a long moment, Mom (holding in her chuckles at being so clever) asked, "What did Santa say to you, dear?"

In almost a whisper, Sarah sadly but matter-of-factly stated, "Santa said he won't be bringing toys to my sister this year."
