Week #211 – Start talking about the holidays NOW!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Greetings all — and Happy Friday!!!<\/p>\n

This week I’m going to talk a little more about one of the five ideas I posted last week<\/a> on ways to Welcome Fall.<\/p>\n

And I know it’s going to ruffle some turkey feathers…but here it goes:<\/p>\n

#5 –\u00a0START TALKING ABOUT THE HOLIDAYS NOW!<\/strong><\/p>\n

(To see the other four ideas…check out Week #210<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

Last week I acknowledged that this one is a little controversial because nobody likes to be rushed into the holidays…but waiting until November 23rd to start talking about who is spending which holiday where is too late!<\/p>\n

And I don’t know about you but I like to enjoy Thanksgiving Weekend for what it is (a very rare 4-day holiday weekend) — not some violent induction into the 2018 Holiday Season!<\/p>\n

SO GET OUT AHEAD OF IT!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Christmas and New Year’s are literally 3 months away. \u00a0That’s just the end of baseball season, Halloween, Election Day, and one Thanksgiving Day away…and BAM. \u00a0It’s the holidays!<\/p>\n

This year, give yourself the gift of a well-planned holiday season!<\/p>\n

Your Happyness Challenge for the Week Ahead: Start talking about the holidays NOW!\u00a0<\/strong>Some of you may be nodding your heads in agreement…and others may be wanting to choke me through the screen. \u00a0I’m okay with that…because if this post helps even one person get ahead of their holiday, I’m willing to take that risk! \u00a0\ud83d\ude42 \u00a0This year, give yourself the gift of a well-planned holiday season. \u00a0Start planning…NOW!<\/p>\n

(And chances are, no matter what you do, you’re probably going to disappoint at least one person anyway…make sure it isn’t yourself!)<\/p>\n

Spread Happyness — Too soon? \u00a0Share your thoughts in the comments!<\/strong><\/p>\n
