Namaste and Salaam!!! Bonjour, Merhaba,Yo,Hola,and Word-to-yo-Mama!!! My Darling Friends, December is upon us! Woot! Woot! What a thrill! Let us be grateful we have much to do! Om Nama Shivaya.
I have noticed, as you may have, that a lot of people seem to become rather stressed in December. Weird. I thiink it is because of the pressure, in our consumerism-ripe society, of “Christmas”.
This is puzzling.
Often, I am guilty of a response like, “oh..are you Christian?” Which isn’t really a question, as much as it is my attempt to make a point. This is a naughty habit, in an effort to disarm. My purpose is to point out that it is a “Christian celebration”. Its about Jeezus’ birthday, non? So whywhywhy is it so weeeeeird for people?? It should be a birthday party!
December finds us bombarded with subconcious+subliminal messages to BUYBUYBUY and spend money on everything from Christmas decorations to booze to food(as in “extra” food) to clothes-for-parties to GIFTS for people…..and most folks are simply trying to get through the end of a challenging fiscal year. Non? Do you notice a simmering undercurrent of stress regarding these things?
Its a sin.
A shame.
We ALL do it, suseptable to the collective stress of the masses.
I ssay fuck it! Don’t stress. Don’t worry. Don’t get caught-up. Don’t lose your center.
Yes…..December is weird. Don’t spend money!!!!
MAKE YOUR GIFTS!!!!!!!
I assure you: people will be delighted! Make a painting for your mom. Even if you are terrible (like moi…I paint because its fun-not because I have a fine arts degree-THATS FOR SURE! LOL!) Ihave included an example of a painting of, big shocker, NICKLAS!! As you can see, this is easy for anyone to do!
Just paint ANYTHING! Even a few brush stokes on a piece of paper and, voila!!! Abstract art!!
The people whom are the lucky recipients of your thoughtfullness will be touched by your unique efforts!!! TRUST ME!
You do NOT have to be worried that “Christmas is coming”. You can approach December joyfully and with a lighthearted easiness.
Because it will come…..and pass…and you will survive. And, maybe, you will even discover a new hobby? :)
I am sending you all warm hugs, high-fives, and fuckin’horns, as we get into this: the final month of our calendar year!!! Yaaaaaaay!
Remember: you don’t have to stress.
Just relax. Have fun. Be yourself. And be creative!
Save your money for rent/food/buspass/panhandlers/savings/charities/emergencies/concert tickets/whatever. Life is full of enough worries. December shouldn’t be one of em. Word.
Loveloveloveloveydovey big hugs to all you Beautiful People,
Have a wonderful week!!!
Love,
Biffy
