Christmas is not a happy time for everyone. Many people feel pressure from family, friends, and media, to be happy and jolly. They might experience the opposite. Christmas could be extremely difficult for those who lost somebody close to them, as this time might make them experience the loss more acutely. If you feel lonely, images of happy families seen in adverts and on TV could make those feelings more pronounced. People experiencing financial difficulties might worry about extra costs. For many families, this might be a challenging time. It could be also very hard to talk about it openly. People who experienced neglect or other challenges in childhood might have a difficult relationship with Christmas. You might remember a tense atmosphere, arguments, or a family member being absent or under the influence of substances. You might also remember other family members pretending that everything is fine. As an adult, you might have ambivalent or conflicting feelings about Christmas. It is ok to feel like that. You have the right to be true to yourself and to look after your needs during this difficult time.

To continue the effort of showing I'm not always serious, here's one of the gifts I gave my son. It's a tradition for me to give at least one thing worth eye rolls on holidays and birthdays. This joins a turnip, can of pickles, and SPAM. And yeah. I totally just *happened* to have googly eyes... You never know when those will come in handy. Why do I do this? First, because I like seeing what sparks bigger reactions. Will the beans beat the SPAM? Let's do some testing. Why is THIS funnier than THAT for this specific person? But I also do it because I flipping love to challenge convention. Who says you can't give pickles?! WHO?! Who says I can't make a can look at you? I like juxtaposing things. I love it when an unexpected juxtaposition can make somebody's guard come down. Googly eyes on a rock or tree in the park? AWESOME!!! (Side note, this is a real thing and OTHER PEOPLE DO IT, TOO. It's called eyebombing. See the link below.) And finally, it's a little bit of an encouragement for my kids to be curious. They know I'm goofy with this, but they actually have fun trying to guess what the next stupid item I pull out is going to be. There's some spontaneity and novelty in it, so they'll still unwrap the present they know is something dumb. And in case you still can't get behind this, it's a little bit like a white elephant gift exchange, which tons of teams use for fun. In parting, I leave you with this clip from Dennis the Menace in which beans save the day.

At SBN, we want to wish everyone a very Happy New Year but… true to our name, we want to keep local business areas safe for those who will be out celebrating. We believe that no one should feel uncomfortable, harassed, or unsafe while trying to have an enjoyable night out but we know that it happens – and New Year’s Eve has a heightened number of violence and assault.

If you are starting to feel uncomfortable, frightened, or unsafe while out this New Year’s Eve, that’s when you Ask for Angela. If you are feeling worried or scared for your safety, follow these steps: - Look for the Ask for the Angela sign - Go to a member of staff - “Ask for Angela” A trained staff member will simply be a friendly face, get you a taxi, or get security or police; they follow your lead to make sure you feel safe.

I need your thoughts about this! Can you quickly have a read through.
Good evening, beautiful people🤗 It is another beautiful session of Story-time with SMILEY 🥳; thank you for tuning in again🫡. Hop on the train and let's have a lovely ride ☺️🤤. Foley just returned from school🤩. He joined the school boarding system at the beginning of the session so it is safe to say he spent a long time away from home🥲. He got home with an intention to spend some good time with his parents🥳. Little did he know that another plan had been made for him😐. The parents already planned that he would spend the holiday with a distant cousin.☹️ All his effort to convince his parents to stay at home proved abortive😭. They packed his bag and took him to his distant cousin for the six week-holiday😥. He would be back home few days to the resumption in school😔. ❓What’s your view on this? ❓Don't you think the parents should have made out time for Foley instead of sending him out for holidays? ❓What are the possible repercussions of daddy & mummy Foley's action? ❓ In your opinion, how should long vacations be spent? Let’s talk about this… Go ahead and share your thoughts in the comment section. Thank you for joining again today. See you next week. PS Oluwafunmito Adetayo, see your boy!😁 Story Narrated By: Oluwatosin Timilehin Michael Edited By: Dasola Oludire #storytime #smileyfoundation

You might cry watching this video. Their nanny is leaving the country. The children have adopted her as their mother. They couldn't bear her traveling. When we serve with commitment and impacts, we remain part of the family leaving them with unforgettable impacts, not just memory. Video credit: Maria Cataleya - TikTok. Thank you, Amb.

This is bigger than Open AI. Open AI is the outcome of two decades of get-rich-quick schemes, disguised and high tech innovation. Educate the public. Now. If you care, educate the public about what’s going on. How platforms are disadvantaging them. Not just AI but all of them. SaaS in general is a corrupt business model and consumer rights are dwindling at the same moment that small business disruption opportunities are given longer and longer runways. Not to mention that SaaS dominates the founder space taking big wet bites out of what little runway they can manage. If it promises to “10x” your revenue and “scale” your offerings—you should run. You do realize that “Founder” is a job you can now apply for? 45k a year, no IP rights, and I guarantee a suite of tools you are strongly suggested to use. The industry is already eating its young. The surest sign of a culture in decadence is cannibalism. Notice the number of senior people opting out to sell a dream to the young? The reason things are so out of balance right now is that consumers, whether B2B or B2C, are in the dark. Just like what Nader did for automobiles and emerging industries in the past, we need balanced investments into consumer rights. That starts with you. Not with government. With you. Talk about what you know. Act within your own small circle of influence to educate. The public is already getting fed up with all of their preferred brands and the declining CX. There is a limited window for companies to reinvest in actual humans—both their employees and their customers. Those that about face and double down on humans right now will be the dark horse. I know you are out there. I serve some of you. Do the counterculture move. When everyone else is going big, automated, and ersatz innovation… …go small, human, and authentic. #authenticinnovation HT: Gary Marcus who you should follow if you don’t already!

This. 💯% this. People should have listened to them the first time. I hope they will now.
