Ah…the holidays….
Good idea to keep them in perspective. Herald them in.
Rejoice in family and friends that gather round us…even the ones who we
cringe at during the events. After…of
course…it all seems to fall into perspective and become laughable.
Too oft, we find ourselves caught up in a whirlwind of
holiday madness that has us twisting this way and that with nary a moment to
think straight. Enjoying the
holidays…hmmm….that can be a tall order if we’re the one doing the
hosting. Even if we’re not, having
to gather with some we don’t get along with can be trying.
But remember this.
The holidays are meant to be enjoyed. Not tax us—our wallets, emotions, etc. Perhaps it’s all the media hype we see
about how each of the holidays should roll off as if Martha Stewart and her
legion of helpers were at our beckon call. For most of us, this is unrealistic.
So what should we do?
Easy. Chill. Even if we have to run around and prep
for either hosting the holidays ourselves or attending them elsewhere, it’s
good to remember this one simple fact.
Keep…them…in…perspective!
If we manage to pull this off, then we’ll likely enjoy the holidays rather
than struggling our way through them akin to a non-swimmer trying to keep their
head above water.
