Top Ten Tips For Celebrating
(Not Dreading) The Holidays
|
December, 2003
- Even if the snow is waist-high, find a way to exercise
rather than camping out in front of the television watching
"It's A Wonderful Life".
- When was the last time you went ice or roller skating?
- Give homemade gifts, or just the gift of your time, whenever
possible. You and your budget won't be as stressed.
- Not in the holiday mood? Dessa Byrd Reed, author of SEVEN
BRIDGES: Turning Adversity Into Victory, often chooses
non-traditional holidays. Join a group tour to Europe or
catch up on volunteering.
- Take care of your body and everybody on the road. Don't
drink to excess just because your office mate insists on
giving you third helpings of her rum punch.
- Keep family traditions wherever possible; they're nurturing
for the mind, heart and soul.
- Call a friend who's alone and depressed on Christmas
and suggest an outing.
- Begin a Gratitude Journal in December and write down
all the gifts in your life.
- Make a family scrapbook of favorite Christmas memories
and recipes.
- Make homemade Christmas cookies and give them to family
and friends.
- While Christmas goodies delight your tastebuds, let faith
and spirituality nourish your soul.
