Happy Holidays, Friends!

It’s the most wonderful time of the year, right?

Maybe not for everyone.

While some love this time of the year it can be overwhelming for others. If you are a bit like me, the holidays bring on a laundry list of things to do and more stuff to manage. It can make even the brightest of moods not so merry.

This year, I tried something new. I looked out for 5 good things this last week in the news and around me. Funny enough, I started to feel less Bah Humbug.!

If you are feeling a bit of the Holiday Blues, take a look at the 5 things below that made this last week a little brighter.


The eighth day of Hanukkah was on December 18th. Do you know the story of Hanukkah? You can read all about the story of Hanukkah here. It’s a beautiful story full of determination and miracles. Plus menorahs are a wonderful way to light up the darkness of winter!

2) DIY Holiday Sweater

This is such and easy and fun DIY! It solves the “I’ve got nothing fun or festive to wear for my holiday Zoom Call.”

3) Pay It Forward

A string of 900 cars at a Dairy Queen paid for each other’s meals! The Pay-It-Forward event lasted two days. Find the story here.

4) Sparkle Cookies

Sparkle your way right into the kitchen with this super easy holiday cookie recipe. It will be the one eaten first off any cookie plate. Find the recipe here.

5) A Snow Day

The biggest snowstorm In years hit the East Coast last week blanketing NYC in buckets of snow! Although, even the snowmen wore masks and social distanced. See amazing photos of the NYC storm here at Time Out New York.



Well, friends, I hope these good stories bring you lots of cheer this week.

Stay safe and healthy and have a wonderful week!
