christmas countdown #6

(For some reason I always thought Pikachu looked twice as cute eating a cookie...)

Number 6:  Pikachu

Christmas-Worthy Quality:  Wholeheartedness

Why:  Okay, so that's a big word--wholeheartedness--and one you don't hear everyday.  You probably know what it means, but just in case, to be wholehearted is to do your very best with all you have--to go in 100% with enthusiasm and an upbeat spirit, and to not give up.  And as Pokemon fan ought to know, tiny Pikachu has a very big heart, and it does just that.  No matter how small this Mouse Pokemon is, it's determined, cheerful nature gives it the courage and strength to push through the most grim situations.  And doesn't that just fit right in?  Here, with Christmas coming up, isn't it twice as important to meet our circumstances with a whole heart, and a can-do spirit.  Yeah, things might be a little tight, and maybe holidays are rough for you, but a little bit of cheerfulness goes a long way.  We could learn something from our little friend here.
