Let's Celebrate Halloween First

Few things annoy me as quickly as seeing Christmas decorations in the store before the children even get to celebrate Halloween. Of course, I'm not thrilled seeing Halloween candy in the stores in August either. I can only imagine the patience that parents of young children must have to deal with the commercialism of every holiday.

Now I know that there is no way I can change the retail business. I can do my own protesting and refuse to buy into the early promotions. Lots of times, I can even avoid going into the stores. And I try not to bring my young grandchildren any place that promotes Christmas so early. What more can I do?

I can help people find ways to thrive in the coming holiday season by offering a free teleclass called "It's Not About the Money". The purpose of this call is to present ways that we can all think about celebrating without spending a lot of money, to create the kind of holidays that we really want in our lives.

This teleclass is scheduled for Wednesday, October 15th at 8:00 PM. I know...it's before Halloween. I was going to do it in November until some of my clients suggested that doing it earlier was important. The feeling was that if we are going to make changes, we need to prepare people and the more time for that the better. And maybe we can even make some changes in the way we use our resources to celebrate Halloween.

So, if you find the idea of staging your own protest to the commercialism of the holidays appealing, email me. I will send you the call number, the access codes, and the class materials.
