I’m always asking questions.  The fun begins when you start researching for answers. Such as…   It’s a fact, not everybody celebrates Christmas, yet there are millions of people that still take advantage of the time off and the giant end of the year sales.  Is that right?  Plus…if you don’t do the Christmas thing, can you still use the time to replenish and rejuvenate your ambition?   I’m Arroe…  I am a daily writer.  A silent wolf.  I stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen study then activate.  I call it The Daily Mess.  A chronological walk through an everyday world.  Yes, it’s my morning writing.  As a receiver of thoughts and ideas, we as people tend to throw it to the side and deal with it later.  When a subject arrives, I dig in.  It’s still keeping a journal!  By doing the research the picture becomes clearer.  This is the Daily Mess…

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Aidan Ross was the winner of season number twenty eight
of NBC's The Voice. We've Got That Conversation Aro dot Net,
Aroe dot Net. The podcast is called That Voice. Enjoy
your Exploration. I love asking questions. The reason why is
because the fund begins when you start researching for answers
such as we all know it's a fact not everybody

(00:23):
celebrates Christmas, yet there are millions of people that take
advantage of the time off and the giant end of
the year sales. Is that right? Plus, if you don't
do the Christmas thing, can you still use the time
to replenish and rejuvenate your ambition. My name is Arrow.
I'm a daily writer, a silent wolf. I stand on

(00:43):
the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen, study, then activate.
I happen to call it the Daily Mess, a chronological
walk through an everyday world. Yeah, it's my morning writing
as a receiver of thoughts and ideas, We as people
tend to throw things to the side because we think
we're going to deal with it later on, such as
a question like this. Not everybody celebrates Christmas, yet there

(01:05):
are millions of people that take advantage of the time
off and the giant into the year sales. What do
you do with a question like that? Will you do
the research when a subject arrives inside of me? I
dig in. It's still keeping that daily journal, but by
doing that research, the picture becomes clearer. This is the
daily mess. So we've already made it clear that not

(01:27):
everybody celebrates Christmas. But do non believers take advantage of
holidays off? And what about all those Christmas specials? If
you don't celebrate Christmas, should you partake in the activities? Whoa,
whoa whoa. Mental health experts were all over this one
very quickly. They said, on top of their own soapbox,

(01:49):
it's all based on why you don't celebrate Christmas. Plus
what does the word participation mean to you? That's what
the research says. We have to make it very clear
that every person has their own way to celebrate or
not celebrate Christmas, for all people, all beliefs. This is

(02:10):
an area on the calendar every single year that is
a place of pausing, a chance to rest one's private space.
Should never be judged because it doesn't involve a Christmas
tree and some dude going ho ho ho ho ho,
And yes, they fully deserve to take late December days
off and take full advantage of those Christmas sales. I

(02:33):
mean those sales are not driven by faith or religion.
It's all about consumer behavior. Businesses need those sales. That
end of the year inventory has got to get out
of this location. If you've got money, please, whatever your
beliefs are, make sure you participate with the economy and

(02:57):
its growth. Who coming up next? Okay, so you don't
celebrate the holidays, Well, what can you do to create
your own moment? Hey, welcome back to the Daily Mess.
If you've made it known that you don't celebrate Christmas,
should a person be asked to put in the hours
at work? What it is completely normal to ask yourself

(03:20):
if taking the time off and seizing a great deal
on a sale violates your beliefs. People choose not to
participate with Christmas for so so many reasons. Religion tops
that list. Avoiding traditions, rituals, and symbolism. Now, for many people,
the decision to participate can be passive, holiday or not.

(03:43):
You still exist. Taking the days off doesn't mean you're
all out Christmas Y. You don't have to take advantage
of the sales and hey, opting out of the seasonal
emotional changes. That is highly acceptable. Our daily goal is
is to fully define our personal boundary. Don't feel bad

(04:04):
if you took the time off but didn't share gifts
with people. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. It's your chapters,
it's your journey. Participation with the holidays is not binary.
It's intentional. So open up your heart and just be
yourself your daily gift every single day, those two eyes
looking back at you in the mirror, Yeah, go ahead

(04:27):
and say I love you. Maybe I'll say I love
you back. Give it a shot. I'm MARYL. And that's
the daily mess.
