Why Do We Even Do All This?
Write down one thing that makes this season important to YOU.
Let’s be honest. Sometimes during this holiday season, we’re supposed to love so much and that's truly a beast. WHICH family gathering are we going to and which are we going to skip? DID that elf make all his daily mischief both on and off that shelf? Did I get my boss that truly perfect gift that will make her think of me fondly when it comes time for that promotion come January? Or really, remember to get her any gift at all? OK, OK. Deep breath. We’re here to provide you with your necessary weekly inhale on this, the hump day of your week.
So, here we go. Tonight we want you to approach your family with some pieces of paper. Have each member write down one thing they love about the holiday season and bring it to the dinner table (or wherever you might find yourself gathered in the evening). Try not to give them too many ideas in advance. Let the question speak for itself and see what comes of it! And to keep your load light, we’ve already written down a few question options for you to choose from…
- What do you truly love about the holiday season?
- What’s one thing that really makes you feel festive during the holidays?
- What’s one tradition that we do as a family that we should never stop doing? Tell me a little about what makes that tradition special to you.
You might be surprised by what you learn! And you might find this refills your holiday cup just enough to not just forge on, but really pause and enjoy this time that only comes once a year.
