This is the time of year when evidence of the holidays is everywhere. You can’t turn a corner without seeing something holiday related. The television is in full holiday mode with commercials, specials, movies…about the magic of the holiday season.
I have written a great deal about giving to others during the holiday season. However, we also need to remember to take care of ourselves. And, in my humble opinion, the two are connected. If you are alone, or lonely, or the holidays aren’t giving you the holiday glow – try doing something for someone else. You will be surprised how good this makes you feel. Dropping off a simple, inexpensive, or homemade gift will so cheer up someone else, and in return, cheer up yourself!
And don’t forget to show children how important it is to think of others, and how good it will make them feel!
Happy Holidays!
