8. Not Worth Missing Half the Party

When we're getting ready to head out to a simcha of close family or friends, of course we want to look our best to show how important this simcha is to us and how much we care, and also to feel more comfortable and happy at the simcha ourselves. 

But sometimes we're running so late and we have to choose between looking our best *or* getting there in time.. And the latter is much more important! We might not have a chance to do our makeup/manicure/tie perfectly.. But it's not worth missing half the party! 

We're already in the year 5776 and it's getting really late! There's only 224 "bonus" Moshiach years left before 6000, and it's time to tell HaShem, ready or not, it's time to start the party! We might not all look our best or proudest, but that's ok, the main thing is to spend as much time as possible together at the Simcha of Geulah!
