MERRY “YOU” & A HAPPY “EXISTENCE”
As you celebrate the holidays, don’t forget to celebrate YOURSELF.

CHILDREN
THE HOLIDAY SEASON CAN BE STRESSFUL OR FUN, AND IT OFTEN IS ABOUT ACCEPTANCE. IF OUR GROWN CHILDREN HAVE SPECIFIC WAYS THEY WANT THINGS TO BE AND HOW THEY WANT THEM TO BE, THEY ARE NO LONGER CHILDREN AND WE CANNOT CHANGE THEM BY ACTING LIKE CHILDREN OURSELVES. ACCEPTANCE OF THESE DECISIONS CAN BE KEY TO SO MUCH OF THE HAPPINESS WE EXPERIENCE WITH OUR CHILDREN WHO ARE NO LONGER UNDER OUR GUIDANCE AS THEY ARE ADULTS THEMSELVES.

“My idea of Christmas, whether old-fashioned or modern, is very simple: Loving others.”
-Bob Hope
Why do we celebrate Christmas? Officially, we’re celebrating Christ’s birthday. And the byproduct of that happens to be Christmas trees, lights and of course, presents.
