When I was a kid no one had to tell me to enjoy the holidays. It was just part of being alive. Fast forward a few decades and now I finally understand why my mom had a super efficient holiday To Do list to help her get everything ready for the holidays. And what happens if she didn't get it all done? She still is the same smiling and gracious woman. How did she manage? It's simpler than you might think—she knows how to focus on what really matters.
So this year I'm going to try keeping that attitude of joy every day—and I probably will even whittle down my own To Do list to include those things that really matter.
Here are three short videos to inspire a joyful holiday season.
1) I met Monica Lee—the whirlwind of inspiration and creativity behind Smart Creative Women—at ALT Summit this year. She's got that amazing can-do attitude with a healthy dose of humor that's definitely inspiring. Find out what makes the holidays manageable and FUN in her recent video: The holidays are coming! That is either good new or bad news…
2) This short animated video will make you feel all warm and happy—it's all about the joy of going home. Enjoy! Le retour is a film by Natalia Chernysheva.
3) Do you disagree with your spouse about how to decorate for the holidays? You'll love Dara and Trents cute stop motion video about finding the Merry in decorating together: Merry Christmas in Stop Motion from Trent Bailey Photography
