Whether it's a New Years Theme we choose to go with (which we recommend at Happy Life Studios) or New Years Resolutions, if we do them right, they will change our life.  However, setting them isn't enough. Oftentimes our themes, goals or resolutions won't happen on their own. Like we haave said several times "If we let it happen it won't happen". To see these goals and ideas accomplished we will have to push them, prod them, and/or poke them just like a cowboy does with cattle. 

The songs we used in this episode are "Get Along Little Dogies (Whoopee Ti-Yi-Yo)" by Woody Guthrie, "Are You Happy" by Primitive Radio Gods and "Make Someone Happy" by Jimmy Durante. We don't own any rights.

We would also like to thank the talented James Kocian, for the use of his amazing songs "Head Boppin", and "Light As A Feather". Check out more of his amazing stuff here

So many talk about New Year's resolutions. It would appear that somehow that became the norm. However if you look at the statistics, you would see that New Year's resolutions don't work for most. We think there is a better way. Resolutions are a real pain, but New Year's themes are a real gain. We will talk about more differences between Yearly themes and New Year's resolutions and show you how to get one for yourself.

We sing and talk about making Christmas last the whole year but the problem is we don't do much about it. Keeping the Christmas spirit the entire year doesn't just happen, we have to make it happen. Here are 5 ways to help you make Christmas last the whole year long. Oh, and Happy New Years Eve! 
Help us spread the Holiday Happy by sharing with someone you love and let's make Christmas last in someone elses life as well.

The songs we use in this episode are "Merry Happy Christmas" by Jimmy Fallon and "New Years Eve Polka (5-4-3-2-1)" by Jimmy Fallon featuring Weird Al Yankovic, and The Roots. We don't own any rights.

We would also like to give a special thanks to James Kocian, for the use of "Another Perfect Day". Check out more of his amazing stuff here www.JamesKocian.com or here www.Facebook.com/jameskocianmusic and tell him thanks from Happy Life Studios.

Christmas is a time to believe. Belief and imagination is what makes it so magical and wonderful. It's also a time for children, which is fitting because children tend to believe a lot more than adults do—probably because imagination is highly underrated by many. It's OK for children to imagine and believe, but at some point those same children are told to "grow up", face reality and stop being gullible. Well, we don't believe that lack of belief represents maturity in the least. There is a big difference between being childish and being childlike. If growing up means I have to squelch imagination, I don't want to grow up, because when we squeeze out belief we squeeze out life.
This episode will help you not only keep your childlikeness through Christmas, but even more importantly, keep it through the whole year. Now THAT'S a Happy Life!

If you have some end of the year funds to donate, or would like to give us a Christmas gift, we would be honored if you would consider helping us spread the Happy to a world so desperately needing it. Here is a link of a few of our current needs. https://www.stevohays.com/support

To aim for the goal of having the perfect holidays or the best Christmas ever, is to set one up for a Noel nightmare. Unfortunately for many, the Merry of Christmas comes around only once or twice for the holidays and then for only a moment or two. We just need to listen to what the Godfather of Soul - James Brown, says about making Christmas meaningful. It is something we must make. If we just let it happen it won't—we must MAKE it happen. Listen and find out how to make your Christmas Merry and your Holidays Happier. You'll be Happy you did!

Here is the vibeshifting.com article I reference: https://www.vibeshifting.com/what-makes-something-meaningful/

End of the year giving: If you have some end of the year funds and would like to help keep this podcast going https://www.stevohays.com/support or go to www.HappyLife.Studio and hit the "support" tab. Or you can use one of the links below under If you would like to help us spread the Happy. We appreciate it! 

The songs we use in this episode are "Let's Unite the Whole World At Christmas", "Let's Make Christmas Mean Something This Year" and "Hey America" all by James Brown. We don't own any rights, and we think his album "Funky Christmas" rocks and puts the soul in Christmas!

Jimmy Stewart, Jimmy Fallon, take your pick. Either of their wishes will work. Listen and find out what they are and why George Bailey, played by Jimmy Stewart in It's A Wonderful Life, is the poster child for Happy Life Studios, and no, it's not just because he's always Happy, because truth is, he's not—quite the opposite actually. This is precisely why he is the epitome of a Happy Lifer. Listen and share with someone else you would like to give Happier Holidays to.

Here are the links for the VRBO I recorded this episode from, plus another one I stayed at last time I was in town owned by the same Happy Lifer. I highly recommend. Tell them Happy Life Studios sent you.

The songs we use in this episode are "Title Sequence" from It's A Wonderful Life directed by Frank Capra, and "Merry Happy Christmas" by Jimmy Fallon. We don't own any rights.

There are two ways to become a Happy. However if you wish to remain Happy and live a Happy Life despite any and all circumstances, one of those ways is wrong. Listen to make sure you are on the right and not the wrong way. 

The song we used in this episode was "The Ballad of Gilligan's Isle" written by Sherwood Schwartz and George Wyle and recorded by The Eligibles. We don't own any rights.
