“Make up your mind right this minute. This is going to be your greatest holiday season ever! You are going to have a sensational time at this year throughout the entire festive holiday period. No hassles, no headaches, no depression, and most important, no holiday blues. This is not only going to be your first stress-free end-of-the-year celebration, it is going to surpass your wildest expectations about what a holiday season can be. You are about to embark on – in a word – your very first no-limit holiday.” - Dr. Wayne Dyer
