50 Plus Woman Masquerades As Zany Christmas Elf

In a minute you can watch my zany Christmas elf video below but first let me explain why a 50 plus woman would do something so – well crazy. Right? Here’s how I look at it. For so many years, the holidays had a predictable ring to them. Tradition. Get the tree up, buy presents, pull out the favorite recipes and go all out prepping for the BIG day – Christmas. If you celebrate this holiday and you’re over 50, this may all sound pretty familiar.

But then the passage of time throws a monkey wrench into these time-honored plans. You may not feel like putting up the tree – so much effort for a couple of weeks. And then the kids, now grown, announce that they’re going out of town for the holidays. You smile and say “how nice” when you really feel sort of crappy inside. Add to that, a parent who is now gone or one who has Alzheimer’s and doesn’t quite know who you are. Frankly as you get further into 50-something, there are times when it hard to find, let alone sustain the holiday spirit.

As these mid life crisis symptoms hit me this year, I decided to turn on the humor and lighten up a little. I watched my favorite holiday movie The Christmas Story and decided to create a funny little video to make me laugh as much as anyone else. So watch the video, dance a little and remember that this just might bring a smile to your face and your heart when you need it the most.

Merry Christmas!
