I'll be home for Christmas You can count on me These have snow and mistletoe And presents on the tree Christmas Eve will find me Where the love light gleams I'll be home for Christmas If only in my dreams Christmas Eve will find me Where the love light gleams I'll be home for Christmas If only in my dreams Thank you Dave!

Thank you Glenn!

That was Dave DeAngelis opening our show for us today That's me Welcome everybody to Life Lessons in Laughter I guess I will do the professional stuff Merry Christmas!

This is our first ever Christmas special Holiday special?

Where do you fall on that?

I don't fall Whatever works for you Merry Christmas,

Happy Holidays I usually say Happy Holidays just because I feel it's more all encompassing I say Merry Christmas a lot too How about you?

I say Merry Christmas to most people because most people that I see are Christian Or were raised Christian and therefore I know celebrate Christmas But if I see you as a stranger I say Happy Holidays There you go,

See that works How about you Dave?

I'm afraid to offend people so I say Happy Holidays There you go But I'd rather just say Merry Christmas because I feel like I mean I don't have anything against any other holidays I don't know I don't think there's anything wrong with saying Merry Christmas even if you didn't celebrate Christmas It's like you don't need to be a jerk about it Yeah,

Actually you know what I'm going right into this because I had a thought about this I don't think the whole podcast is going to go this way but since that came up There was this,

I just saw this little quote thing that said Want to keep Christ in Christmas?

Feed the hungry,

Clothe the naked,

Forgive the guilty,

Welcome the unwanted Care for the ill,

Love your enemies and do unto others as you would have done unto you By Steve Maraboli And I was like that kind of sums it up for me,

You know,

Like the wording has nothing to do with the meaning If you want to keep the spirit of Christ in Christmas then do that Love,

Because that's what Jesus was about,

You know So it's like I don't think we're really in danger of losing it I think we're all responsible for our own space and if we bring love into Christmas then Jesus is going to be right there with us But isn't it funny how it's not about that usually Yeah,

People just,

They run around going oh my god this store's open,

Well don't go to them,

You know And then,

You know,

People say happy holidays instead of merry Christmas Then if you like saying merry Christmas,

Say merry Christmas Like it's all,

You know,

Like nobody can climb inside of you and rip Christmas out of within You know,

Just live it how you want to live it It's like one of my clients years ago was talking about Valentine's Day and that's another one some people get all upset about Usually it's the single people that are like this is ridiculous But even people that are couples sometimes don't agree with the hallmark aspect of it as they say So like,

But they,

What they chose to do was,

And I don't even remember the specifics it was years ago But they chose to celebrate that holiday in their own special way as opposed to buying each other things And I was like that was,

That's so beautiful because it's,

You picked a day to celebrate something that you two have together Nobody can take that away from you,

You know,

So I think we have the ability to put whatever meaning on whatever we want in our own lives That's true,

You don't have to conform to anything and no one can take anything away from you Right And people really do act like,

If you know,

People do act like at Christmas like it's going to be taken away from you Yeah No it's not Well it's in your heart,

Love is in your heart,

So if it's not at Walmart don't go there Exactly You know what I mean?

I don't know,

I think that we are living in a material world and I am a material boy I'm a material girl?

I wasn't going to say girl,

I'm not a girl Glenn I know but it was the song This is,

I believe this is the first Madonna reference and it's a Christmas special,

Coincidence?

I think not Two years,

First Madonna reference,

That can't be true Yeah,

She's such a big part of my life I find that hard to believe I'm sure I've referenced Vogue several times Oh there you go We may have done that because you do that like half Vogue dance Yeah you deemed it that That's what it is Whatever,

Maybe Alright,

Check the Life Lessons and Laughter Facebook page,

There's going to be a video of him doing this dance I very much doubt that So what are we going to talk about today guys?

What else about Christmas are we going to talk about?

We've got to talk about the holiday Well what are you doing for your holiday?

I am going to be spending it with my family That's original Yeah,

We're going to really break out of the norm and do the family thing It's kind of cool with us,

My family is small and I think it's fair to say laid back There's not a lot of pressure so we just go up to my sister's place with her family and my parents come in from Florida We spend a couple days and everybody's birthdays are in December and January except a couple So we do one day,

We do everybody's birthdays and then the next day we do Christmas Eve And then my parents fly back to Florida on Christmas Day and my son and I come back to Rhode Island on Christmas Day So it's kind of quiet travelling day Oh yeah,

I assume Yeah,

Which is nice,

You know,

It's cool Now is your son getting to the point where he does not like going anymore and he would rather be doing other things or is he still at the He's just a high schooler now,

Right?

Yeah,

He's going to be 15 next month I mean he loves his alone time,

He does But he likes going up and seeing my family,

We don't see him that often So probably like maybe four times a year or something So he likes spending some time with them so he's still on board with going up for that visit So it's fun,

You know,

We have a good time and we make a wrap every year I don't know what that is I know you don't,

I just want to glare at you to get the empty Huh?

What the heck is that look?

Do you know what it is Dave?

I don't know It's French Canadian food,

I grew up in a big French Canadian town in Northern Mass So it's made with potatoes and pork Oh wow Yeah,

So we grind up all the potatoes and stuff and it's kind of this little family event I mean my mom and my sister do most of it And my father and I help with the potatoes usually So it's cool But yeah,

It's something to look forward to,

I love it And I'll get a big pan of it myself to take home So I eat it for like the next four days,

Like two meals a day Just wolf it down,

So What about you Dave?

What about it?

What are you doing for Christmas?

I don't know,

I don't know I'll probably be here No I don't know what we're doing,

I never ask my family what we're doing for anything No I just kind of find out Day of or the night before?

Oh like maybe the night before if I remember Sometimes I forget it's Christmas So what you're saying is you can barely hold in the holiday cheer I can barely contain myself Probably going to go to my grandpa's on Christmas Eve He does the Italian fish dinner shtick Which is very enjoyable I'll probably do that And then on Christmas day I don't know I'll probably see I'll be with my immediate family definitely I don't know where that will go from there I haven't asked Hopefully I get to stay at my house Because that will bum me out I don't like,

I really don't like going Not that I don't like seeing my extended family I don't like going to their house Because I like being at my own house on Christmas It's just weird to me I don't like traveling on Christmas day That's the worst day to travel When I was a kid there was nothing I hated more than leaving all the toys I just got for Christmas Good point And to go to another house That's the worst That's the worst We can only take one or two I just feel like Christmas day is all about Don't even get changed out of your pajamas Just chill all day Just relax But everyone makes it into Everyone gets dressed with your shirt and ties and your dresses Let's go to grandma's house And just ruin the day You guys had a very traditional Not traditional in a Everyone sense But traditional for your family We did the same thing every year Thanksgiving was like your parents' version of Christmas For everybody Because that's when they would host That's when they would host So everything at your house was usually decorated for Thanksgiving For Christmas What?

On Thanksgiving everything at your house was already decorated for Christmas usually And then you guys had very rigid I remember very rigid traditions for Christmas Eve That's probably why now that I'm an adult I just don't want to plan anything You know what I mean?

Because it's like I don't want to plan anything Because it was the same thing for 18 years Yeah I think that's part of why it's so laid back with my family Is because we go over my grandparents and stuff like that And we do the visiting And as we got older it was just like Everybody's like Let's just relax and enjoy hanging out And at my sister's house it's kind of like you mentioned People are in PJ's constantly Somebody has to go do something fine But as a general rule I'll go up there the day before The two days where we do the birthday and then Christmas And we'll go up there the day before whenever I get there Like Matteo and I will wake up and we'll poke around And throw some stuff in a bag And then hit Dunkin' Donuts for a coffee for the drive And go up and when we get there we get there And then we just chill And wake up whenever we wake up And hang around the house And maybe watch a movie one of the nights There's no plan It's just completely chill for two and a half days It's a nice release from reality I think that's interesting Because I think this is a good point to bring up for this Because I think rigid plans for holidays Are something that's very common And I think it's very common to stress everyone out And it has the opportunity every time to ruin your day Because stuff like that gets Especially with a large family that's gathering One person's always late And then everybody else gets offended by that Everyone gets really upset Like they don't care or something And they're like ugh ugh they're always late And it gets awkward and things are said That make things uncomfortable And it's like well isn't this totally opposite of the point Of gathering for the holidays?

You know what I mean?

But what you're describing is just go with the flow Just do what you're gonna do We have enough structure where everything gets done Like okay we're gonna do birthdays We're gonna do birthdays on the 23rd We're gonna do Christmas Eve,

Christmas Eve evening So those two things are gonna take place But sometimes,

Especially when my son was younger He might be chomping at the bit to open some presents And I'll like walk in the kitchen and be like Mom,

Mateo's chomping at the bit Can we get the presents open before dinner?

Uh yeah I guess so Hey you wanna do presents before dinner Sue?

Yeah okay Hey we're gonna do Tell everybody we're gonna do presents And then 15 minutes later we'll open presents It's like cool You know how kids like wake up their parents Very early in the morning,

Christmas morning To open up Christmas presents Well I did that when I was very little Now my dad does that My dad is like It's 5.

30,

Why is everyone still asleep?

I made coffee,

I made breakfast,

Get up now We're doing this And I'm like okay And then everybody usually goes back to sleep My father's the first one up in our house too Yeah Not at 5.

30 though We have no rigid plans We have literally nothing Especially since my grandmother died like four years ago We don't,

There's no even talk about possibly going somewhere We're staying home And we're all together and it's good And we eventually have dinner at some point And this year my aunt's coming over Which is nice But we haven't done anything since In like 15 years almost We haven't done anything like really big and special And I love it Yeah the structure like you were saying Dave Can really kind of choke the life out of it No kidding Yeah if it's too much I mean we had,

You know mine was a lot more structured when I was younger But I don't know,

I didn't feel that much pressure I did notice,

The adults did though Some of the adults felt,

I would notice it I didn't have the big blow up fights that you see on TV during Christmas and the holidays My family didn't do all that stuff But there were times when you could send some tension Tension You know And it was like,

Well like I said it never got blown out But it's that structure can be just too much There was only a lot of tension I'm supposed to do this I'm supposed to,

You know we're supposed to be happy dammit There was only a lot of tension This is a wonderful holiday There was only a lot of tension one time Our entire extended family was over Because my uncle,

My dad's brother had bought everybody tickets to go to Paris And so yeah,

So everybody,

There was like 15,

20 of us And they all,

There was a big fight the night before And everybody left and went and rushed and they forgot me And I was Oh my god,

You are so bad You're such a jerk You just took us all the way down that road Yeah the same thing happened to me but they were all going to Florida And I ended up in New York And so I sat there and said My family's in Florida and I'm in New York Wow I can't believe I heard that something like that happened a third time but nobody saw it What are you talking about?

You never went to Paris I got completely sucked in And I was having Happy holidays everybody I think the reason I stayed sucked in was because I was,

My brain was wrapping itself around the fact that somebody paid like for 15 people to go to Paris Like I was still wrapping my brain around that while he was talking So I'm like wow that's a hefty price though Yeah wow that's awesome I'm like What a Christmas thing I'm thinking like I can't wait to do that for my family in the future And then all of a sudden I come back to Ben and he's still talking about it I'm like hey,

Wait a minute That's home alone I did look a lot like that when I was that age You were Ollie Culkin?

Yeah like when I was like 4 So traditions are good Traditions are good Traditions are good but too much structure can stifle Yeah and I see this in other areas like you know how we do in regular life we do a study and we research everything So I've had,

I was working at a gym once where they did a study on every single aspect of making people feel comfortable so standing makes people feel more comfortable so they took all the seats out And then if somebody's drinking a coffee then they're less approachable or if they're drinking anything they might be less approachable than if they're not drinking something So you weren't allowed to drink anything and then what they were doing was they were trying to structure your way into connecting with people You can't do that You can't make enough rules where people feel comfortable You know like it's the opposite I feel like the more rules the less comfortable Right and so what they were doing was they were making so many rules to make people feel comfortable that they took the essence of comfortability right out of it And that's the same thing I think with the holidays it's like well we're supposed to be together and we're supposed to visit all people who we want it to look like we care about And then we're supposed to do this and we have to give the right present and if we didn't put enough thought and we put all this structure and rules and try to force happiness And that's not where happiness lives It doesn't live in there it lives in the heart and it's more open and free So I think that that's why you know too much structure and pressure if you can do it without the pressure and it's relaxed then God bless you enjoy We tried to implement one tradition for Christmas Dave and I that we would go to the movies every year which is very common We lasted about four years with no drama and then like the fifth year it got stressful like we never ended up I don't think we've actually gone to the movie in like three or four years Are the movies packed on Christmas Day?

They're not not packed especially if there's a big movie out Kind of like a Saturday night or something?

Yeah yeah it's like a normal weekend night because there's nothing else to do I think it's surprisingly very popular after Thanksgiving and Christmas for people to go to the movies Yeah the movies and Chinese food Yeah because Chinese restaurants,

Movie theaters and hospitals are pretty much the only places that are open on Christmas and Thanksgiving Yeah and you want to try to avoid the hospital if possible It's possible So it sounds like Chinese food in a movie,

Sounds like date night Yeah exactly Yeah it's pretty it's surprisingly there's a lot of people it's like wow all these people left their houses to come to the movies Sometimes movies a lot of times movies come out on Christmas That's what I'm saying Yeah it's a big movie day I was just talking with Mateo about that like last week because I think there's some movie coming out this Christmas and I was like hey you know we come back from Massachusetts on Christmas Day Maybe we can check out that movie and we had a little discussion well do you think it's gonna be packed and I'm like I don't know you know because I'd never been It's not like you can't get seats no but it's I thought Star Wars this year was gonna open on Christmas Day but they wanted to get a little early start Well you gotta get the toys Yeah you gotta get the marketing is ridiculous for that movie you know Disney has put Star Wars on literally anything you can think of Cars Cars I saw you know the new have you seen the new ball droid in the movie it's a little Robot that's a ball that like rolls around on the dirt It's basically like a soccer ball with a head on it Yeah Oh my son will love that They came out with a ball droid oranges Oranges?

There's oranges that have his logo on them Oh nice Well I think the Star Wars was really one of the original movies that grabbed onto the concept of the marketing with the toys and really launched it And then once you sell that to Disney it's game over Yeah They're gonna take it to a whole new level Yeah they know what they're doing So should we touch on you know if should we touch on a little bit if like holidays are hard for people?

Sure I mean I think we should you know Yeah and in which way did you have in mind because I had one pop up in my head too Okay my thought was just basic like sometimes it's hard for people to see everyone's so happy and they're not And the happiness and the joy that comes from Christmas just it can get kind of overwhelming and it can get depressing for some people Yes If they're not in a good place Yeah and I think you know that It's like the more happy it is the more sad they are you know what I mean?

Oh yeah because it's more of a contrast to or at least they feel there is And I think what we were talking about earlier is a nice touch on that that you know one thing about being happy is make sure you're Or setting your emotional standard don't compare your insides to everybody else's outsides Because you know you look around and everybody's going Merry Christmas Merry Christmas And inside their head they're going oh my god I can't believe this and there's no way I'm gonna be able to get this toy it's already sold out And if that uncle comes over I swear I'm gonna drill him I cannot take that you know And so that's what's going on inside of half these people that you look at and you go oh their lives are perfect they're happy They're you know no they've got a drunk uncle smashing whiskey glasses in their living room so it's really you know don't really compare yourself to that What they look like on the outside so it's not always you know what you're viewing what people show is not always what's going on inside of them Usually it's not so I mean that's one aspect but the other aspect is you know the reality of just what you're feeling And just not feeling happy if you're not feeling happy you know it's really accepting where you are and looking to the new year man I mean I wasn't a big believer in drawing a line in the sand like on New Year's Day because it was so cliche But I mean when it comes down to it if you want to change your life you need to draw a line in the sand sometime It doesn't make it a bad day because everybody else is doing it you know that was just the rebellious streak in me It's about committing to it It's about committing to it right and it's you know accepting where you are counting your blessings and looking for what you have You know like it's not the people get locked into being focused where they are and where you are is not nearly as important as where you're going So you don't need to be so depressed about where you are if you look around and you go you know what I'm healthy I'm capable I have a brain that works properly I can get a job I can dig myself out of this you know and you start looking towards the future And start taking some action steps and stuff like that you know look to where you're going Everybody thinks that if they don't sit there and go oh well you know everything stinks right now and I don't have a job and I'm not in a relationship And I'm not I'm not I'm not and if I don't really stand in that and own it then I'm lying to myself It's like no that you whatever you think about is what you're creating so if you stand in a pile of crap and you're sitting there going It's important for me to know and really stand in my truth that I'm here then you you're just creating the same existence in the future So it's not important for you to stand there it's important for you to focus on what you do want in the future That's what's important because that's your what you're creating if you focus on what you want you'll start walking towards it If you focus on where you are you're just gonna stay where you are you know so it's it's all about shifting perspective If you know it depends what you focus on so there We could probably go a little over Yeah it's a holiday special so if the holidays are tough for you just remember that Yeah I mean really make a gratitude list sit down seriously sit down and take you know just climb out of the pity pot for 20 minutes Because that's what it is I feel like that's what it is I feel like being rebelling against the happiness of Christmas is just like why should I be happy Yeah and it's like I don't deserve it and I don't want to be happy because why should I because I'm you are acknowledging all the bad That's around you right because of this I can't be happy for Christmas right and it's terrible for me and as long as you stay in that mindset New Year's is going to be terrible And then so you know yeah and Valentine's Day yeah exactly next Christmas it's going to be to have a different year in 2016 you have to be a different person So to be a different person all you need to do is think differently you know what what makes what makes us different than somebody that's rich successful and in a wonderful relationship It's just perspectives they're not a better person than us they're not they're not like they don't have some huge secret that nobody gets it's just their perspective on life That they've created a different reality there's people who have been through every horrible situation that you can imagine that have climbed out of it and made a wonderful happy lives for themselves And there's also people who have been through every horrible thing you can imagine and have stayed in it and never dug themselves out the difference between those two is the choices that they made while they were there One chose to stay in it and one chose to climb out of it and you know any of us can do that it's just on our choices You know what else is a great day to choose to draw a line in the sand other than New Year's Christmas Christmas is a good like A new beginning Try to try to try I'm sorry that just reminded me of a really really awful show that I wrote Try like if you can write the gratitude list and you can try to find a way I know that it sounds like horribly impossible to do when you're when you are depressed and you are feeling lonely and you have the holiday blues but to be able to say like I'm gonna try to tap into this happiness that's around me I think that you know there's a lot more optimism is everywhere on Christmas so maybe it's a good time to try to hit your wagon too Yeah and there are more people reaching out to help you know there are more people doing kind things so the energy does raise around you know so yeah it is a good time to focus on you know writing that gratitude list you can make that on Christmas and look at it every day and add to it You know because there are things that in your life that you have to be grateful for so if you can focus on that it can start pulling you out you know and the other thing a lot of people get sad about at the holidays is losing a loved one Of course.

So that comes up and they're like oh my god they're not here.

Every year is tough.

Right so and I mean that it's I've seen I mean I know a lot of people that have passed on but I've seen it more dramatically in other people who like let's say have lost their wife or you know somebody really that they've built a life together with for for 30 years you know and stuff like that and children and stuff like that you know those are obviously more dramatic losses and stuff like that it's this works for any loss but especially with those dramatic ones it's those people are okay now they're okay now You know they're on the other side they're okay and what do they want to see when they're looking down the last thing that they want to see is suffering they don't want us to suffer they love us why would they want us to suffer you know so suffering does not mean that we love them more It does not honor their memory by us suffering.

It doesn't.

Us living our best lives honors their memory because then they can look down and be happy for us.

Otherwise they're looking down and going oh my god really I'm okay don't suffer for me you know be happy for me live your life for me you know that is honoring a memory being more of yourself So I think that that's important to you know do something uplifting in honor of somebody and as opposed to something depressing in honor of somebody so there go do that.

Uplift.

You know?

Honestly I was just talking about a difficult subject right then and I feel more uplifted at the end of the I can feel my energy it's up higher than it was when I first started talking about that.

That to me that's always my sign that something's right.

If I'm feeling energized and more alive at the end of saying something I know it was the right thing.

That's very important to know because that affects a lot of people I think.

Oh yeah I hear.

That situation is rampant.

Yeah and in my line of work I hear it all the time.

Favorite Christmas movie?

Ooh I'm so into the comedies.

I mean Christmas Vacation absolutely love it.

Elf has become just a fantastic Christmas movie.

Everyone loves Elf now.

I think those two are really my favorites.

Yeah I mean I watched I DVR'd Bad Santa but I haven't watched it this year yet and I haven't watched it in a few years I think and I just watched Scrooged with Bill Murray which has some great parts in it but I was kind of half focused on it.

What about the old ones?

Rudolph with the kid that wants to be a dentist and the planet of misfit toys I love that.

I DVR'd that one and the one with the Heatmiser those are my two favorite old ones.

My dad loves the Heatmiser and Coldmiser.

Yeah?

I'm Mr.

Heatmiser.

He hates Rudolph.

The beginning is tough.

I just watched the beginning the other day.

It was tough to get through I gotta be honest.

But I'm looking forward to the misfit toys cause I'm like half way through it.

Rudolph's great.

It lets you know that people will only like you if you're useful to them.

Oh my god that's such a good twist.

It's not true.

The moral of the ugly duckling is it's okay if you're ugly as long as you become good looking.

That is such a good point on how people can take something beautiful and just smash it.

Excuse me Glenn.

I don't know what we were talking about the other day but I said to Dave you have the ability to find the worst thing in every good thing in the world.

What a gift.

It's a blessing and a curse.

It's not a blessing.

I really love Elf.

I think my two favorites would have to be Muppet Christmas Carol which ironically I find to be one of the best tellings of a Christmas Carol ironically and Charlie Brown Christmas.

That little tree is just.

.

.

Talk about messages with Charlie Brown.

Finding the good in things when things don't look so good.

When somebody pulls a football on you.

How about you Ben?

New is Elf.

Old is.

.

.

The Reichenbachs really.

.

.

You really like those.

It's the name of the company that made Rudolph,

Santa Claus is Coming to Town,

And Frost.

All the ones with the stop motion animation.

But it's probably Charlie Brown because if I hear two measures of Christmas time I'll start to cry.

We did watch A Christmas Carol for spiritual cinema at my place last week which was cool.

I hadn't seen that in a long time.

It was good.

The reason I chose that one is because I often times say that I'm living a Christmas movie.

I refer to that one.

When I shifted when I was 35 I was just held there and I was forced to look at my past and what I had done and take responsibility for it and look at my future and take a really good look at it.

Look at my present too.

Where I was and look at the future for myself and my son.

Where life was going if I didn't make some changes.

And then I really started popping open having these awakenings and stuff and then I was so happy starting that life.

I do.

Whenever I get down I try to remember that.

I'm like what do you have to be down about?

You're living a freaking Christmas movie for Christ's sake.

Your life is a Christmas movie.

What do you have to be down about?

You've been given a second chance to accomplish whatever you want.

And live a happy life and spread joy and all this stuff.

So I mean come on Glenn.

It helps pull me right out of it.

Because as happy as I am there's times that I get down too and I need to remind myself.

So do that this year.

Remind yourself of why you should be happy and what the possibilities for the future are because they're endless.

Definitely.

Dave will you play another song to send us out?

Sure.

Glenn if anybody wants to start the new year off with some extra help where can they find you?

Find me at life-enhancement-services.

Com.

That's the best place.

And yeah shifting your perspectives to get started in that new year heading in the right direction.

Oftentimes when we're really low we do need some help to pull us out.

So let me know if you need that help.

So here we go Dave.

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas just like the ones I used to know.

Where the treetops glisten and children listen to hear sleigh bells in the snow.

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas with every Christmas card I write.

May your days be merry and bright and may all your Christmases be white.

May your days be merry and bright and may all your Christmases be white.

Merry Christmas everyone.

Bye everybody.

Bye.
