When the holidays come to a close, chances are youâll have some fond memories to hold onto. What you donât want is to look back on the 2020 holidays and say âI wish Iâd been kinder.â
This is an upbeat time of year, but it can also be filled with an unusual amount of stress and uncertainty.
Often there are unrealistic perceptions and expectations, along with an abundance of commercialization, all of which can put even the most even-tempered person on edge.
But you can make the seasons brighter for those around you as well as yourself if you choose to be kind.
