Every Day Is Christmas:
Living the Holiday Spirit Throughout the Year Without Damaging Your Health or Driving Everyone Crazy
Why Can't Every Day Be Christmas?
What if every day could be Christmas? Seriously. What if every day you could wake up to all the presents, the smiling faces of loved ones, and that turkey dinner that always seems to taste better on this particular day of the year? Life wouldn't be too bad, right? But, of course, this is impossible...or is it?
"We can and should celebrate the joys and values of Christmas with those we love far more often than once a year."
According to Bradley Trevor Greive, this idea may not be as farfetched as it seems. In his new book, Every Day is Christmas (Andrews McMeel Publishing, $9.95), BTG explains that every day could be Christmas if only we could understand what this holiday is really all about. Thus, through the irresistible combination of his black and white animal photography, and witty, yet inspirational prose, he reminds us that Christmas:
- "is a truly magical time. So magical that even folks who have been fixated on their own lot now invest serious time thinking about what they can do to brighten up someone else's life..."
- "forges the lifelong bond between family members and reminds them just how much they have in common, regardless of where life has taken them."
- gives us "a chance to uncork the champagne and celebrate life, love, and laughter in whatever ratio that feels right, and legal, at the time."
Yet, BTG takes this message even further. If "the meaning of Christmas is to give of yourself — to open up the joy in your heart and share it generously," then shouldn't every day, he asks, be like Christmas? The world would certainly be a better place if it was...
