Christmas with the Cranks

So tomorrow is Christmas Eve and so many of us are going to be celebrating with family and friends. In this season, let’s set up a few guardrails to keep the holidays on a peaceful road.

  1. See your family. They may be far from perfect, but they are yours. You won’t have them forever so give them a bit of your time.
  2. Leave politics at the door. Give the heavy discussions a break for the sake of peace and goodwill to all.
  3. Embrace the memories. There are many out there who may be grieving a loss. It’s okay to cry if you need to but also take time to look back at those times when you had them in your life and try to find a few smiles too.
  4. Don’t focus on what gifts to receive but on the fact that someone cared enough to think of you.
  5. Make new memories. Do all of your normal traditions but try something new too.
  6. Take some time to rest. Don’t be so busy you forget to enjoy yourself.
  7. Be nice. Be together. Be thankful. And enjoy the holiday.

Most of all, have a very Merry Christmas!
