Merry Christmas vs Bah Humbug... 

A family had twin boys whose only resemblance to each other was their
looks. If one felt it was too hot, the other thought it was too cold. If
one said the TV was too loud, the other claimed the volume needed to be
turned up. Opposite in every way, one was an eternal optimist, the other a
doom and gloom pessimist.

Just to see what would happen, on the twins' birthday their father loaded
the pessimist's room with every imaginable toy and game. 

The optimist's room he loaded with horse manure.

That night the father passed by the pessimist's room and found him sitting
amid his new gifts crying bitterly.

"Why are you crying?" the father asked.

"Because my friends will be jealous, I'll have to read all these
instructions before I can do anything with this stuff, I'll constantly need
batteries, and my toys will eventually get broken." answered the
pessimist twin.

Passing the optimist twin's room, the father found him dancing for joy in
the pile of manure. "What are you so happy about?" he asked.

To which his optimist twin replied, "There's got to be a pony in here 
somewhere!"

Sometimes you have to go out on a limb to turn over a new leaf

Don't trust his words, trust his actions.
