Holiday advice articles and blogs beg us to say no, to take on less, and to use shortcuts at holiday time. Why then, do you feel so guilty when you do?
Maybe it’s because you don’t have your own Magic Guilt-free Holiday Wand.
One wave of the wand over your holiday head, and you, my sisters, will be ready to give the old heave-ho to obligations, traditions, and requests that are bogging down your holiday spirit and time.
Thanks to this incredible wand, you’ll be amazed at how happy and relaxed your holidays will be. And as everyone knows, if the Queen of the Holiday Household ain’t happy, the elves aren’t happy either.
What’s cool about the Magic Guilt-free Holiday Wand is that it’s fun, easy, and inexpensive to make all by your holiday self.
Start with a paper towel tube or an old toothbrush. Tape or tie a bit of ribbon to the end. Add a splash of glitter if you’re feeling extra sparkly.
When it’s finished, hold the wand in front of you. Say, in a festive voice, “You are my beautiful Magic Guilt-free Holiday Wand. Help me to make guilt-free decisions this holiday season.”
SWISH!
It’s that simple.
I’m not sending out a family photo shot for the first time in twenty-eight years. As soon as I made the decision, I just waved my wand, and the guilt was gone.
Well almost. Sometimes, you have to wave it twice.
Every now and then you have to wave it three times.
But never more than three times, I promise.
Thank you Magic Guilt-free Holiday Wand!
Let me know, dear Holiday Readers, how yours works…
Photo Above: I found this picture of a magic wand in the School Art Exhibit at the North Carolina State Fair. I don’t know if it’s a Magic Guilt-free Holiday Wand or not, but I do know it was painted by a clever, creative, sparkly young lady named Sarah.
