Thanksgiving Eve

It’s that time of year again when we’re about to slam into a string of holidays. For many of us, it’s a fun-filled chunk of the year when we celebrate with our families and friends, have a lot on our social calendars, and experience the joy of giving to others. I always go into the holiday season with a mixture of emotions, because for all of the fun events on the calendar, there’s usually a level of stress that accompanies it and lots of scrambling to complete everything that we want to do. We set expectations of sending out cards, shopping for gifts, cooking more elaborate meals that usual, and generally filling our calendars a bit too full. It’s hard to cut back on the traditions that we love so much, especially when we benefit from hearing from friends or spending time with friends and family whom we might not see as often as we’d like the rest of the year. I hope that you can find a good balance for yourself during this holiday season so that you stay happy, healthy, and sane!
