For many families, the holidays can be one of the most stressful times of the year. Caught between visiting in-laws, the quandary over Christmas gifts, and questions over which traditions to celebrate, the holiday season can cause much anxiety and tension.
Try these quick tips to de-stress your family over the holidays:
• Gratitude lists. While sitting around the Thanksgiving table or celebrating the December holidays, take some time to reflect on what’s really important in your life.
• Generosity. This winter season, donate a coat, children’s toys or warm clothes to a local community center.
• Make gifts. There’s more fun in making something special- be creative and make your gift truly unique.
• Tell stories. Stories told around the dinner table create a sense of family and community.
• Family feast. Decorating cookies, making matzo balls, latkas, or eggnog, there’s nothing like food to bring a family together.
