Whether you celebrate Christmas or Diwali, or even Chinese New Year, you know that the holidays can be stressful. There is always something going wrong, something always taking a left turn. How do you keep the holidays under control? Well, here is an A-Z Guide For Surviving The Holidays;
Accept when/if things go wrong. That makes it easier to move on and enjoy the rest of the holiday.
Boxed dinners shouldn’t be a tradition, therefore are not the best options. If possible, make a homemade dinner.
Calm is key. Staying calm and stress free is very important, so that you can enjoy the holidays.
Elephants should be stowed away during holiday traditions.
Food is very important.
Good food is very important.
Happiness. Remember that your happiness is just as important as everyone else.
Imaginary friends do not have reserved seats.
Just keep swimming, just keep swimming…
Keep small, wandering children on a leash.
Lacking planned discussion topics is not advised. (Check out our “How To Talk Series”.
Mandatory check-in for the children playing on Aunt Mary’s giant bean-bags when it suddenly becomes too quiet and you’ve heard an explosion.
Narcissistic children should be ignored to keep positivity.
Optimism is always something to keep in mind, no matter if things are going wrong or are right.
Political opinions should be kept to yourself--especially around family.
Quietness might be recommended, depending on your personality type.
Rest is very important, because well rested people function better under pressure.
Stay positive when something goes wrong. If you laugh off whatever went wrong, it will pass quicker.
Talk about things that don’t matter, that way, Aunt Mary (*cough* *cough*) doesn’t start a fight about one of her many ‘highly important’ opinions.
Utopias aren’t possible, so don’t even try. Some stuck-up child will ruin dinner, either way.
Vicious aunts, (*cough* *cough* Aunt Mary) should be kept at the end of the table to isolate from conversation.
War over your school grades might be common at the dinner table.
Xylophone enthusiasts should not be invited to dinner, nor traditional activities. They are always too musical.
Yams aren’t good, even if your grandma has perfected her recipe.
Zebras should also be stowed away during dinner.
That's it! Good luck surviving the Holidays!
