Make Your Holidays More Meaningful
Hello, everyone. Have you ever thought of making your holidays more meaningful? Well, here is some advice for you.
It’s hard to focus on the true meaning of the holidays when you’re rushing from one shopping mall to the next. Try this: Six to ten weeks before the holiday season, sketch out a weekly calendar with all your holiday obligations—then start eliminating. Weed out and delete as much as you can; you’ll free up more time for real connecting.
It’s better to give than to receive—and that applies to more than material goods. Some ways to spread cheer to those in need: Help your kids deliver homemade holiday cookies to a retirement home, schedule a visit to the children’s cancer ward at a local hospital to deliver baskets of toys, help serve a holiday meal at a homeless shelter.
How much money does your family spend on "meaningless" food—soft drinks, chips, cookies and the like? Reexamine your food choices and buying patterns, and pass the savings on; Calculate how much you spend on junk food and give that money to a charity, or donate 2 percent of your food purchases to a food bank.
Rituals anchor holidays, and give kids a sense of continuity and tradition they can pass on for years to come. It can be as simple as lighting candles, singing songs, or saying a special prayer. Other ideas: Take a holiday hike in the woods, throw a lake party, host an annual holiday dessert potluck. It’s never too early to teach kids to share. Explain to your children that not all boys and girls have gifts to open on the holidays, and ask if they’d like to share some of theirs. Most kids are eager to pick out and wrap old favorites, especially if they’re involved in delivering them to the recipients. Sharing toys goes for grown-ups as well: Old computers, golf clubs, CD players or cell phones are meaningful holiday donations. You can’t stop holiday commercialism, but you can refuse to partake. Kill your television, and engage kids and family in more festive activities. Give kids disposable cameras and have an afternoon of photo-taking; make cookies for an assisted living center; head to the local ice rink, museum or aquarium; drag out the markers and paints and make homemade New Year’s cards. Instead of supporting plastics, box stores and rampant consumerism, make gifts more meaningful. Buy at small, local stores; make your own holiday cards and donate the savings to charity.
As much as you want to connect with your family and friends, it’s essential to carve out time for yourself—even if it’s just 10 minutes a day. Take time for meditation, introspection, yoga, a solitary hike, and gazing at the evening stars. When days get busy and stressful, schedule an afternoon siesta during which everyone goes to his or her room for 45 minutes to read, nap and play quietly. Lock yourself in the bathroom with a hot bath, and don’t wait until New Year’s Day to rethink your personal priorities— list them now and let the magic of the holidays inspire you.
I hope you will enjoy your holidays better after today’s talk. Thank you very much!
