The Christmas season is upon us and so are all those holiday parties. But after hitting 12 straight parties and doing the rounds of smooze-festivous, you'll be entitled to a cold frosty. The only problem you're in a strange part of town and the local brewery you frequent is all the way across town?

Tonight sure feels like Christmas eve. We have a major snow storm bearing down on us in Washington DC and my six year has got a cough and a cold. But tonight I see something truly beautiful, a message. Soft and gentle, the kind you need to deliver to your audience.
The message is true and pure. A Christmas message that the world yearns for - a moment of peace. Not peace and quiet but true peace of mind. The peace of mind that your loved ones look deeply into your eyes for - security, trust and awe.
What is awe?
Per Webster:
a noun feeling of reverential respect mixed with fear...

I have no idea! And neither does anyone else but this isn't about the data. It's about presenting the data and neither side has done a good job at presenting the facts and fiction.
Want to why I know this?
Just look at the divide that exists within the general population - it split right down the middle. The answer lies in "me" marketing and presenting a message that reaches very small group or niches and presents how it effect each of us in our daily life. How about a creative content message that start a more engaging conversation rather than polarizing people.

Using Your Sixth Sense and the Census - Marketing Data
What will it Tell Marketers?
Life and work are usually a whole lot of common sense and a bit of research but the plain facts are presently staring us in the face. There is no "Average American Family "- anymore in America and our population is aging.
The average household has changed and by 2010 the most prevalent household will be a married couple with no kids. These facts are all from pre-census data, the full results will not start to trickle out until March 2011.

Baked Alaska and Arthur's Walk
There once was a turkey named Arthur, now you see Arthur was a very different turkey, because he lived in Alaska. It seems that he liked the winter, not because he did not want to be someone's Thanksgiving meal, in fact he never even heard of Thanksgiving!
One day Arthur was walking to the store, when he saw a bunch of people chasing after him! He followed his gutt, and suprisingly didn't run! He held up his feathery wing and said in his calmest voice he could have, "Um.....hello, my name is Arthur, and I'm pondering why you are chasing me?!".

Are You Twitter Tired?
The Tweeting End is Nearer than You Think.
Part Two
The last time I left you, I was ranting about the end of Twitter. Sorry for the rant but my twitter nerves are frazzled and I've seen one to many messages about hair cuts, auto repair or completely irrelevant messaging that never points to the originating site, blog or subject matter. You know that points back to the place we found you in the first place and gives relevance. I know you're all feeling the same way, I hear it quietly whispered every week at parties, networking and in my biz travels. Here's the next installment...
