The “fine print” legal disclaimer down on the bottom of this page states, “The opinions and information presented are not necessarily the viewpoints of Creations Magazine.” Well, if ever a piece DID reflect my viewpoint, the lead article by Alan Cohen, Why the Holidays Don’t Matter, is it! I only wish I had written it.

That’s not to say that either Alan or I are anti-holidays. It is about the reasons why people do what they do for their holidays. “Tradition” is the primary motivation often cited; but what if the roots of that blindly-followed and fiercely-held “tradition” run only as deep as “that’s the way we’ve always done it?”

As Alan’s cover quote explains, no one particular day is holy because of anything we do, but rather because of the consciousness and intention we bring to it. While the holidays are meant to be fun and enjoyable, participating out of obligation, guilt, or fear of family reprisal – and running up substantial debt in the process – is somehow, not my idea of a good time.

Donna Henes’ piece, Every Day is a Holy Day, echoes my long-held holiday misgivings as well, albeit a lot less delicately. “In some cases … the original intentions … still manifest. However, in most cases, the shell of the celebration has been maintained, while its soul has been modernized, sanitized, secularized and commercialized beyond recognition …” From hereon, I’m going with Alan Cohen’s holiday approach: Let go of everything that is dysfunctional and embrace only what brings you peace. I hope you will too.

THIS IS REALLY BIG NEWS: We have launched the Creations Clean Food Market. For 29 years, Creations Magazine has been “Inspiring the Soul.” Now we’re Nourishing the Body too. We are providing a website location where you can purchase your favorite non-GMO, and organic foods — delivered to your door — at the lowest prices, guaranteed. This is not a buying club. There are NO fees and NO membership — and we offer FREE shipping options. Please visit our online store at CreationsCleanFood.com and start enjoying the savings and the convenience.

And you get the additional benefit of the peace of mind that comes with the assurance that every item we stock is non- GMO. Each and every product is carefully screened to assure that everything you order through our store will be CLEAN food – as nature intended.

To make this store possible for you, Creations Magazine partnered with Green PolkaDot Box—the nation’s leading distributor of CLEAN foods—because they are in alignment with our values, perfectly fitting the profile of a major company possessing the financial clout, national reach, and ethical consciousness which can help us attain our goal of a clean, verdant environment. Sure, we’re all in business to turn a profit, but the greater goal is the greater good; that goal being the eventual and total eradication of genetically modified organisms from our planet, assuring the safety and vibrant health for all.

But any business, regardless of its size, cannot achieve this goal alone. We can provide you with CLEAN food options at the lowest prices; but it is up to you to vote with your wallet and match your food dollars to your values. If we refuse to buy poisons, the Monsanto’s of the world will no longer have the monetary incentive to produce GMOs. It IS this simple. It is the right thing to do at the right time. Right for every plant, animal and person.

Remember, we outnumber them: 7 billion of us vs. a relative handful of those sociopaths. That is real strength in numbers. So, please join with us. Add your purchasing power to thousands of our other subscribers and make purchasing CLEAN foods a top priority at CreationsCleanFood.com.

Have a Peaceful & Healthy Holiday Season,,
Neil and Andrea
