Christmas Play Party 2018

We enjoyed an amazing party night full of fun, surprises, fancy dress, food, drink, games, quiz, creativity and laughter.  They say time flies when you are having fun and indeed 3 hours just wasn’t long enough this year as we didn’t get to dance very much, if at all!

A little nonsense now and then is cherished by the wisest men.”

Roald Dahl

My children often refer to my child-like quality and this party is very much about relaxing, having fun and playing.  We play ‘pass-the-parcel’, musical chairs, fun party games, dress up as all-sorts of characters.  There are prizes galore and I rejoice in organizing and taking part in such a playful, celebratory event.  Amazingly, so do all who join in the party.  We certainly practice Laughter Yoga!

Being playful makes a refreshing change to be fully present in the moment through ‘play’, liberating us from our troubles, pain and responsibilities.  Sadly I meet many adults who have forgotten the art of Play.

It’s never too late to have a happy childhood.”

Wayne Dyer

Play is totally underestimated and is very good for our health, wellbeing, creativity, learning, and so much more…..

 Play is the highest form of research.”

Albert Einstein

At this year’s event I introduced a creative activity.  I was surprised and overjoyed that everyone decided to make a Christmas Decoration.  Wow, I was amazed how much artistic talent there was in one room!

 Every child is an artist.  The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.”

Pablo Picasso.

How do you enjoy the art of playfulness?  If you’ve appeared to have forgotten or lost the art of Play perhaps you should try it as a prescription to boost your health, wellbeing, mood and quality of life.

It is a happy talent to know how to play.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson
