Saying thank you, writing little notes, giving hugs - these are all great ideas - perhaps worth a blog post of their own one day! David Teagan

I think because at big holidays, like Christmas for instance, we build so much expectations into them, and expect everything to be perfection. But I've come to realize that a) we don't have to have elaborate planned celebrations, and b) NOT celebrating is just as bad as rigidly planned events that are so much work. And this weekend I was at a seminar, and I think they've got the idea . . . we need to celebrate MORE, and spontaneous celebrations over life's little events are a great idea. Give someone a little handwritten note about how much you appreciate them, a pat on the back & "great job!", a hug.... it may sound cliche but it's true... little things can mean a lot! And as pointed out... it's all about making memories. Those celebrating experiences are important for that! .-= Teagan´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.healthfoodmadeeasy.com/another-food-recall/" rel="nofollow">Another Food Recall</a> =-.

Give someone a little handwritten note about how much you appreciate them, a pat on the back & “great job!”, a hug…. it may sound cliche but it’s true… little things can mean a lot!

And as pointed out… it’s all about making memories. Those celebrating experiences are important for that!

Interestingly the local soccer team I support are also nicknamed the Saints and I can recall vividly celebrating in our lounge with my Dad when they won the F.A. Cup - in 1976!

I almost hit the floor I was laughing so hard. I used to be into holiday and birthday celebrations, but after Katrina, some of us have lost our desire to celebrate anything. Now that the New Orleans Saints won the Superbowl 44, it really lifted a lot of us up. The Saints had never gone to the Superbowl in the 43 years they've existed. We were so excited when they won the championship to go to Superbowl 44, we were really happy to just get to go. When the Saints won it was over the top. I'm not an American football fan, but I watched the game and was yelling and jumping up and down. I think I'm back to some celebrating again. The Saints win was like lifting a huge cloud off all of us. I wish I could have gone to New Orleans for the celebration, but I had to work.
