Have a Ho Ho Christmas - a Natural Energy Booster

Have a Ho Ho Ho Happy Christmas

I’ve decided that it is time I put more humour into my life, and that means seeing the funny side of frustrations.

Last night I went to a Christmas Party for our Toastmasters Club, and we had to each stand up and say what our best Christmas present was. One man said ‘a toy that had the batteries included’.

We live in a ‘wire-less’ age, where we are dispensing with cords left right and centre, and replacing them with ‘cordless’ or battery operated gadgets.

Two things I love are my cordless iron and my re-chargeable battery operated vacuum cleaner. No longer do I get a cord caught up on chair legs and bookcases, and I can easily do what my mother used to call ‘a quick whip around’ with the cleaning.

No so my cordless (wireless) mouse.

Because I spend so much time at the computer I am constantly changing batteries (re-chargable thank goodness, or it would cost me a fortune). I have exchanged the batteries so often that the little trapdoor has fallen off its hinges and I have to put it on with sticky tape. This is not as effective as it was, which means the mouse has to be manipulated to get it to work properly.

I can see what’s going on my Christmas list for Santa – a new mouse.

Back to the Toastmasters Christmas Party.

It was the most wonderful function, in a back yard of one of our members, though you could hardly call it a ‘yard’ in the best Aussie tradition. My pommie friend tells me that in England people don’t have ‘yards’, they have ‘gardens’. Our party venue was neither. It was a manicured lawn with one big tree, and it sloped down on each side to the canal that surrounded it. In the distance we could see the beautiful lights of Surfers Paradise, on a glorious balmy summer evening.

The patio area was decorated with Christmas lights and the tables lit up with sparkles. The food was fresh Queensland fruit, traditional turkey, ham and vegetables followed by plum pudding and custard with other delectable deserts, all served out of doors. Oh, the energizing qualities of the aromas, tastes and experiences of delicious food.

If I wasn’t to have another Christmas meal, I know I would be satisfied with what was spread before us.

The entertainment was something else. Our Table Topics master extraordinaire had hats and head-dresses for Santa and Mrs Santa, reindeer – male and female!!??, and Santa’s elves, who each made up a humourous story about their role. Rudolf got the most laughs with his geeing up, in more ways than one, of the other reindeer, and the crowd.

More humour by Paula made the night a winner.

If you haven’t enjoyed a Toastmasters activity, then consider coming along, particularly to a club that has a motto similar to ours – ‘Have Fun While you Learn’.

So, as I go into Christmas with a Ho, Ho, Ho I wish you also much fun and laughter. Remember - laughter is a Natural Energy Booster. The more you laugh the more energized you with feel.

Live with Energy
