Have an OK Holiday

Happy Festivus to all who celebrate!

Personally, I love a holiday that is open to anyone and everyone and no one gives a flying hootenanny how you celebrate. Good food. A plain pole. A stack of beer cans. It’s all good.

The Ten of Wands speaks to obligations that we put on ourselves, and the blockages, challenges and obstacles of our own making

Releasing holiday obligations that we put on ourselves (and that can kindle resentments) is its own kind of transformative holiday magic. Letting go of the things that no longer serve others OR yourself may be a little emotionally wrenching or guilt-ridden, especially during the winter holidays, but it makes room for something new, something joyous.

It’s been said that traditions are simply allowing ourselves to be held hostage by dead people. There is some truth to that. But there is also a a great truth that sameness and tradition can be extremely valuable and comforting in turbulent times. The more things suck now, the more we need comforting things like favorite movies and holiday traditions.

Especially those traditions that contain more meaning than money.

It’s OK to keep the perfect from being the enemy of the good.

I wish you the happiest OK holiday season.

See you at the next sip!
