🎄🍄Days of Xmas 1/9 "Grandpa Caleb says..."
A wise elder's words are more valuable than anything on your Amazon Wish List.
Welcome to Halcyon’s 9 Days of Xmas!
(It was going to be 12 days, but nobody needs that many birds. Keep your turtledoves and partridges, I say!)
If traditional Xmas doesn’t jibe with you, substitute a tradition of choice for “X.”
I like to use this time of year to focus on the metaphor of birth and new beginnings. After the Solstice, the days will begin to get longer. The new year brings a fresh start. And I celebrate the baby steps of Christ Consciousness coming alive in each of us.
This Season is also the Super Bowl of Gifting - with all the marketing and crass commercialism that goes with it.
So for the next nine days I am going to shower you with gifts, good vibes, and holiday humor that will help you lap up all the glorious figgy pudding from this season and avoid turning into a Scrooge.
(*There will also be a word puzzle and sticker giveaway. Each day’s email with have a secret word. Collect all the words and send them back to me and I will send you one of my brand new sticker designs. US postage only)
🎄🍄 DAY ONE: GRANDPA CALEB
Our first day’s treat is a dose of Grandpa Caleb magic.
If you are unfamiliar with my Grandpa Caleb, I highly recommend checking out my TEDx talk! “Grandpa, Gratitude, & Gifting.”
Rev. Caleb Shikles was 93 on this annual family trip to the beach on Xmas day. He radiates gratitude as he shares some of my favorite wisdom.
BONUS:
Grandpa had to spend the next Xmas in the hospital. But he still flows with gratitude and wonder:
Stay Tuned for tomorrow’s treat!
And please spread the word about my in-person Love Ambassador workshop/retreat in San Diego on Jan. 13-14! Four spots left. Let me know if you are looking to share a room with someone.
With Love and Gay Apparel,
