Santa Tim
Says, 'Get a Head Start on the Holidays'
What if Santa
showed up in September with a simple plan that would help
individuals and families reduce the stress and anxiety that comes
with the December Holidays? Could this type of program reduced the
stress? The anxiety? Or, the depression that some people develop
when the holidays arrive.
Are you one of the many that stresses out, gets depressed, or
worries too much during the annual November and December holidays?
Maybe you wish you could spend more time enjoying the Holidays
and less time rushing about?
"How to get a Head Start on the Holidays," is a simple program
that shows how to enjoy the Holiday Season, do everything you want,
and at the same time, reduce the stress, anxiety, and the depression
that often accompanies this joyous time of the year.
Here are the Secrets:
Secret #1 - Organize & Plan Ahead.
Secret #2 - Eliminate Unnecessary Tasks.
Secret #3 - Schedule Personal Time .
This is done by starting a few months in advance, dividing the
work and tasks associated with the holidays, and doing a little each
month. It’s a simple and fun form of time management.
What makes this program so different? It was created by a real
Santa Claus.
As a professional Santa, for over 35 years, Santa Tim Connaghan
has been a public speaker offering programs on ‘The History of Santa
Claus,’ and ‘The Symbols of Christmas.’
After many years of also answering questions on other subjects
related to the Holidays, He began giving suggestions and advice.
This lead to the creation of "How to Get a Head Start on the
Holidays."
Santa Tim’s goal is to spread this message across America and
help people everywhere. For the past few years, he has done this
through live presentations. Some groups and organizations asked for
copies.
So this past year he put pen to paper and produced the
presentation as a full news article and as a one page flyer that
could easily be reproduced and sent out. A few clubs have included
the one page in their electronic newsletter to members.
He also created a web site where interested individuals or
families can visit and select a four, five or six month plan that
will aid them in ‘getting a head start.’ The web address is
http://www.getaheadstart.info. Full copies of his articles and
the plans are available on the web site.
If you are interested in "Getting a Head Start," visit the web
site. Santa Tim hopes others will study the simple program and pass
the word on to others. In this way he hopes he can reach more people
and hopefully make everyone’s holiday season more enjoyable.
