I'll try to rationalize Christmas.

Okay so the thing what I remember on Christmas was when I was still a little kid and when we go to City Limit, Pucsusan, our single lolas do create games and we play they gave prices we exchange gifts. A simple get together. That's Christmas really, a visit to the city.

So I think there's no harm in a week long vacation, but here's the thing, it could be positive, a refreshing vacation, or it could sag your spirit.

So what's the plan for a successful Christmas? A successful Christmas is when you get in the door and until exit you are more richer, in friends, experience, money, knowledge, better emotional, physical and mental health, yeah, that's it, there should be gain, that's the primary benefit. Secondary would be a reduction, maybe less stress, less junk food, less hate, less burden. How about a third tier? Eh, maybe a neutral thing, nothing happened. Worst? Any adverse effect on well-being.

So how to organize a good Christmas? Basically, break it down to three days. Day 1, 23, day 2, 24, day 3, 25.

Day 1, or maybe days before Christmas, buy the supplies, gifts, food, stocks, get a haircut, wash the car, clean the house, just start fresh, focus Christmas on gain on the good things and elimination on the bad things, as simple as that. Plan the event tomorrow. Prepare the stage, the musical instruments, the sound and light system. First aid, recalibrate gadgets, cameras, phones, laptops.

Day 2 Countdown to Christmas, Christmas eve, cook, talk, invite, enemies, friends, relatives, take a good wine. Yeah man, socialize, introduce a person to another, meet your relatives. Sing by the campfire, tell stories, play, laugh, hug. Reflect on the year, what should be done more, what should be done less.

Day 3 yup program day, start with a breakfast of fruits and juices. Start a program with a prayer. Sing with the kids, throw out the money, any presentation would be nice, then parlor games, then throw again money, then lunch, afternoon, chill chill, bring on the drinks, throw the board games, release of presents, evening an evening prayer, maybe a grand march. Done! Take all the contacts, keep in touch.

Post Christmas. Slow down. Buy more fruits and juice more veggies. Look forward to New Year.
