There are still plenty of ways to capture joy and create magic this Christmas . Here are some tips for finding joy this 2020 holiday season .
The Gift of Acceptance When someone mentions Christmas , one of the first things we think of is gift giving ! Acceptance is going to be the biggest gift you give yourself this year , and possibly the best gift you give your loved ones as well . Accept that this season will look and feel different , and that ’ s okay . Accept that you can do your best , and that ’ s enough . All that really matters in the end is not that we ’ ve hosted a killer party or bought the best / most presents , but that we love well . That ’ s what makes holidays memorable , after all . So , rather than feeling defeated or pushing against the situation , just accept that this is where we are and claim your power to make the most of it .
Intimate Gatherings Sure , you may need to scale down your dinners and parties , but you don ’ t have to forgo them altogether . In fact , going for intimate gatherings of a few close family members and friends can be more relaxing , connecting , and fun . Sometimes , when we can ’ t be as social as we ’ re used to , we may tend to go the opposite direction and isolate ourselves , but that isn ’ t necessarily healthy , at least not for long periods of time . We need each other . So , scale down that Friendsgiving and trim your holiday party list , but don ’ t stop celebrating and connecting with the people you love .
