The holiday season can be so crazy with family, decorations, parties, shopping, and everything else you may feel like decking the halls or rocking the Christmas tree. This year the challenge is to find the calm. Look for moments that you can spend with your spouse that don’t involve tinsel or toys, plans or parties. Need some help?Try one these with your spouse:
- Build a fire, make some coco and listen to the crackle.
- Take a quiet drive to look at the lights in a different neighborhood.
- Bundle up and take a walk in a park (staying close will help you stay warm).
- Ditch one of your Christmas parties and watch a movie instead.
- Go out for a fancy dinner instead of making one.
The holidays should be a time that bring you closer together not farther apart or stressed out. If you want to “find the calm” this year, it might mean you have to sacrifice a tradition or change the “game plan”. In the end your marriage and your sanity are worth it. This year make sure your holiday includes at least one silent night.
