We all want to create wonderful memories during the holidays... My best memories as a kid were things like... the year the Turkey dropped on the floor... the year we looked up looked up and saw the dog walking across the table... the year we put the tree in a playpen to keep my little brother from pulling it down... simple, funny, easy memories with families.... how about the gifts of "I will babysit for 10 hours" or, I promise not to fight with my sister for the whole month of February...
Those same memories are still there... slow down... keep it simple... give an extra hug... make the effort to visit or call someone you haven't in a long time. These are the tips that stick. Not that extra expensive present, or, so many decorations that it takes days to put up and take down. Unless of course... those things are what you look forward to... but all in all... be easy on yourself and don't worry about big when small means so much more.
