Product Description As the years go on, Christmas spirit is sometimes in short supply. Catch the Christmas spirit leads a holiday tour of the sometimes surprising places the reader might expect to find the spirit.This book contains a collection of holiday columns. They are fun and upbeat and full of ideas for people enjoying their second fifty years. They contain ideas for putting together celebrations that are meaningful even though life circumstances are changed. It is especially aimed at people who aren't finding the holidays as much fun as they once did, who find themselves alone, or where Santa doesn't call anymore. Dorothy relates adventures with her overstuffed purse, Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer and a life sized paper maché angel. Who knows what's life sized for an angel? There's a section with 25 ideas for celebrating the Christmas that's right for you. And then, just to keep spirits up all year long, there's Thanksgiving, Easter, the 4th of July, and Thanksgiving. Ideas for reducing Holiday stress (Try charging the doctor for keeping you waiting.) Plenty of chance to create your own holiday. Dorothy Wilhelm is a humorist, professional speaker, and has written a column dedicated to the fact that it's never too late to enjoy life. Most of these columns have been previously published during the 20 years Dorothy has written her newspaper column but they've been updated and new material has been included. About the Author Dorothy Wilhelm calls herself a porcupine trainer. That's her term for the sticky situations and prickly people we all have to face on a daily basis. She says we re all porcupine trainers, whether we want to be or not. Dorothy is a professional humorist, a national speaker, radio and TV personality who brings energy, good humor and fun to her presentations. She has been writing about the joys and surprises of the second fifty years of life for about thirty five years. It's never too late for joyful living she says. Three decades ago Dorothy was a widow with six children and a bleak outlook. She was fifty pounds overweight, had less than a year toward her college degree, no work history, and, as far as she knew, no employable skills. She could not even drive her car on the freeway. That was a long time ago. After the age of fifty, as a cancer survivor, she began a new career in broadcasting. Today she still has six children, but everything else has changed. She s just celebrated her eightieth birthday and is still pursuing her career full time and full speed. Dorothy spent ten years as Creativity Expert for KIRO radio and TV in Seattle. She then hosted and produced a series on Comcast-TV called My Home Town, winner of a National Beacon Award, which focuses on what s going right in our communities. She writes a newspaper column which appears regularly in 50+, the Tacoma News Tribune and in other publications across the nation. She has a Bachelor s Degree in Communications from Marylhurst University - and she drives anywhere she wants!
