Dear Friends, Did you know that you can celebrate Christmas on any day if you choose? I have always told my son to not worry about coming to our home on December 25th. With their young family it is hard enough to get to of their parents home, much less all of them. So I have taken myself out of the chaotic mix. We can have our holiday celebration on Jan 5 or December 10. It just doesn't matter at all to me.

Dear Friends, On Sunday I received an email from a long time FlyBaby who lives in France. She grew up in the United States and had just returned home after spending time with her family. She was saddened by the division that she saw and felt during her visit. She seemed to be upset with me because I was touting Joy, happiness, and Peace on Earth.

Dear Friends, Here we are with just a few weeks until Christmas. The mid-night editor is working over time. The holidays are jam packed with things to do and people to see. Lots of times we are just so busy that we don't even take a few minutes for ourselves. This is why our December habit is to pamper yourself.

Dear FlyLady, What do I do with "HOMELESS" items when I declutter? I am desperately trying to follow your decluttering instructions, but I end up with a bin of "HOMELESS" rather than "Put Away". My problem is that their home either doesn't exist yet OR is full of OTHER items that need de-cluttering. What do I do?? Frustrated FlyBaby in Frisco

Dear FlyLady, You are all so special to me. One of the testimonials you have rerun from time to time is the Pay It Forward one about the lady who helped Sarah, who was under suspicion by social services, probably due to her ex calling in a false complaint right after she had moved from one home to another. She pleaded to her new neighbor for help and that lady used your sense of organization and way of looking at things to get her home, obviously an older, in poor condition, home into presentable order in just five days to prevent her from suffering the possible loss of her four children.That testimonial gets to me every time I read it (from the archives). I just wish we would all have the opportunity to do that for someone we don’t know. Wait a minute! We can do those kinds of things any day we chose! By the time, those five days were over, the neighbors and even the social worker herself, had jumped in to help someone they did not know overcome a situation that wasn’t entirely her fault.
