Creating the Best Possible Holidays – The Final Challenge of 2020
This year the holidays will be different. Different is not a synonym for bad; it does not mean less fun. It simply means not the same. Different is an invitation to be creative.

Looking forward to seeing you!!!
I can’t join the discussion on the 10th, but This topic on the holidays is important. because what makes the holidays important for one? The holidays are important for me because when I was younger I felt the energy the holiday brought. Christmas felt like a month-long, thanksgiving was a big celebration and Halloween was spooky. now, this. Halloween, I was working instead of feeling the spooky vibes. I honestly forgot it was Halloween. my question to you professor, is what makes a holiday special for you?
Holidays are very important to us. Not because we received gifts, but because we get to expended with our love ones. I loved how you said “ This year the holidays will be different. Different is not a synonym for bad; it does not mean less fun. It simply means not the same”. People might interpreted!. The article “ Creating the Best Possible Holidays – The Final Challenge of 2020 “ showed me how holidays can change within a second. Last year everything was so different. This year must of the people can’t feel the Christmas Eve but most of them Does. This article is very important to me because it is related to myself. When I was younger I used to wait for the gifts and for my family so we Can have fun. I was feeling the energy of the holidays, but now I can’t feel it because there’s people from my family that are not longer with me.
My question to my teacher is
How can we get the same excitement for Christmas and so new year like we used to ?
This year my holidays will be based on how I see life today, There is an unwanted cloud (covid-19) hovering above, which is causing and has caused traumatic consequences for lot’s of families around the globe, with that in mind, my holidays will be simply gratitude and gratefulness. We will send gifts this year instead of bringing them in person, and I’m grateful that I have everyone to send to still, my list did not decrease because of the unwanted cloud, I met professor Urban this year, again a plus. The holiday gathering will be small at the nest, but, a lot more smaller nests will be sharing cheer over the air, and not risking injuring on the roads, another plus, so, I believe the human spirit is cable of making these holidays a more triumphant occasion with gratitude, reflections and accomplishing our everyday tasks with the least amount of anxieties causing resistance.
