Once in a while, I’ll encounter someone who is really enthusiastic about me and my work. Actually, usually pretty much everyone is enthusiastic about me, so that’s not the issue. The issue is that, for some, their enthusiasm translates into seeking familiarity with me. Sometimes this happens in counseling sessions, and sometimes at sell-out seminars.
Folks, maybe Christmas isn’t so bad. I know what you’re saying: “Dr. Matt, why would it be bad at all?” I admit, I may have treated Christmas like my alcoholic sister that I shake my head at, and have a hard time loving her for who she is. Sure, Christmas sometimes breaks my DVD player, or talks to the tabloids about an incident in Thailand. Yet, at the same time, Christmas can be wonderful and fun, and sometimes doesn’t drink at all.
And Christmas also has you, my fans, and that makes it special. But you know what else I realized? You also get me for Christmas, and the thought of how special that makes your Christmas is heart-warming to me. Merry Christmas to all ya’ll, and may the years ahead continue to bring you more and more of me.
Sincerely,
Dr. Matt*
* Dr. Matt is not really a sincere doctor.
