• Let the music ring.
• Send love to all. Remember those battling depression.

• Know that perfect does not always require perfection.
• Allow for bundles of fun.
• Let your heart overflow with the joy of giving.
• Don’t overthink the details.

• Check your list twice.
• Remember to feed the pets.

• Go forth and enjoy!
