Home for the Holidays
Now it is November, and the year, it is almost at an end. Now is the time when our thoughts are turning toward the holidays. The American Thanksgiving, the Christian Christmas, the Islamic Ramadan and the Jewish Hanukkah; all will be upon us soon. Of all the times of the year, this is the time for the peace and the Love. But for some, this is not being the case. It is the time of anxiety and stress, of petulance and prickishness, when their hearts are racing and all is not as it should be. The extended travel, the new Lovers and old flames, the estranged parents, and more can all be adding to this burden. For these unfortunate souls these months are a horrible time. I, Ramón the Mink of Love, tell you now: it does not have to be this way.
I know only too well that there are many parents who are not accepting of all that their children have become. They do not approve of your style of life, your preference in Lovers, or your refusal to be just like them. But during the holidays there are not only the parents with whom you must be dealing. There are also the grandparents, the aunts and uncles, the many cousins. Perhaps you may be finding some allies among these. Perhaps some are even more repressed and backwards, ready to be judging you harshly. As I have said many times before, there is only one way to be dealing with these people. You must not have fear. Make Love to your Lover upon the dining room table! Seduce your aunt’s new husband by the fireplace! Slake your passion with the plastic reindeer in the front yard! When you are displaying your Love in such a way, you can be melting even the most frigid heart.
For some, returning to the place of their childhood will mean bumping into old friends or past Lovers. There are people who get very nervous when this is happening. They become awkward and stumbling, looking for any chance to flee. Do not let this be coming to be. If you are finding an old Lover, embrace the moment! Make Love on the street in the snow, or invite him or her back to be sharing with your current significant other. Remember that Love is Eternal. Though you may have moved on, you may still share your Bond.
Travel too is a cause of stress for many. But next time you are in an airport, look at the people who are working there. Many are just as tired, just as weary as you are feeling. The airport is such a wonderful opportunity for the Love. Why not try to be cheering them up? Perhaps you could be removing your clothing and crawling into the X-ray machine. When the operator is seeing you and trying to remove you, you can be grabbing and pulling in him or her, to make Love where all can see every bit of you. Those guards with the big guns, they look so dour and unhappy. Choose one and perform a striptease, then launch yourself upon him. And the flight attendants look so tired. Try giving one your Passion atop the drink cart in the middle of the aisle. These people, they will never be forgetting you.
Do not forget that this is the time to be kind and to be generous to others, not to be anxious and irritable. And remember too that there is no greater gift than the Love. It brightens the days of others, and it is helping to bring up your mood as well. This Love that we celebrate every day of the year, it is the true meaning of the holiday season. So go and share yourself, and let the spirit of the holidays guide your way! ♥
