Holidays can be stressful for couples. Deciding which family to spend Thanksgiving or Christmas with is one of the many decisions to be made. It’s important to discuss this and decide ahead of time. Have a designated holiday for each side, or switch from one year to the next. Another option is to offer to host and invite both sides. Also, you can FaceTime and spend time together that way. Be fair and try to compromise in any way you can. Holidays can also be celebrated on another day or the day can be split between the two families. Try to keep your Thanksgiving as happy as possible. Remember, it’s all about being thankful!

“The greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved; loved for ourselves, or rather, in spite of ourselves”

It’s close to that time of year when we give thanks. We share what we are grateful for. Wouldn’t it be a better world if we were grateful on a daily basis? If we told others how thankful we are to have them in our lives? If we were able to see what all we can do rather than what we can’t? If we recognized all we have rather that what we are lacking? We can find things to be grateful for even in the darkest times of our life. Try it for awhile. Think of a new thing you are grateful for every day, be it a small thing or a monumental one. See what happens.
