Be the Elf!
This is one of our mantras for the holiday season. From the middle of October until after New Years is a very busy time for us: holidays, birthdays and travelling abound. Kids get excited, and over-tired. There are events to plan, and gifts to wrap, and letters to write. All this while work, school and life go on as usual.
It gets Busy! Bedtimes get altered, nasty colds show up at inopportune moments- someone could easily snap!
Be the Elf. Be the Elf. Be the Elf.
When we start to feel the stress coming on we try to, “Be The Elf.” Santa’s elves are joyful. Happy. Mirthful. They remember that it is better to give than receive. What better gift to give than an unexpected smile during a stressful moment?
Happy Elf!
Our Elf mantra helps us pull back from the frantic fray, and remember the True Meaning of Christmas: joyful times with family and friends, generosity to family and strangers, love, Love, LOVE!
So when the holiday season starts making things tense, we urge you to “Be The Elf!”
