Bring the magic and meaning to your holidays this season.  Involve your family, especially your children or grandchildren, and YOUR inner-child. Incorporate traditions that you are fond of, special foods, readings, stories, games, decorations, music, etc. or start your own!

If you haven’t experienced the excitement of the holiday season in a while, now is the time to think about how you would like it to be different. Doing an activity together may be fun. An easy one would be to trace your hands and color them to make turkeys for Thanksgiving.  You could make ornaments or candles for Christmas or Hanukkah.  Everyone could write on a large poster board, good things that happened for them this year or what they are grateful for.

Your family’s focus could be on giving and doing for others by gathering food to donate or serving food to those in need.  Another way of giving is to adopt a family through a shelter or religious organization, and providing a holiday for them, that they wouldn’t otherwise have, with food and gifts.

Get creative and MAKE this holiday season meaningful and special!

Love, Health & Happiness,

Does your family have one evening a week dedicated to something you do as a family or couple?

If you don’t already have a “Family Fun Night,” here are some suggestions:

1. Select one night of the week that works for everyone in your family.

2. Together, select a theme: game night, movie night, specific food night, breakfast for dinner night or something else your family enjoys doing together.

3. An alternative to a “Family Fun Night”, is “One-on-One Time” where one child and one parent have time together and do something special.  When there are two kids and two parents, it is easy to switch off each week so each child gets individual time with each parent every other week.  This could also be called, “Mother-Daughter,” “Mother-Son,” “Father-Daughter,” or “Father-Son” time.

4.  Couples can select a weekly “Date Night” and take turns planning something to do together at home or out.

What ever you do, have fun!

Love, Health & Happiness,

Phyllis
