burl ives, (have a) holly jolly christmas

this is the best time of the year for a reason. generosity, kindness, and joy is felt not only among family and friends, but even between perfect strangers. this morning, for example, i asked the clerk at whole foods how his day was going; he smiled and said:

“everyday i choose to have a good day; there’s much to be thankful for; positive energy is contagious, so i try and spread it ’round and keep smiling.”

i have to say, it brightened my day and reminded me of how each of us are in control of our own happiness. no matter what.

so by golly, find what makes you happy and share that positivity with the world. and from me, to you and yours: have a holly jolly christmas!
