Love and family can heal holiday struggles

It is officially the Holiday Season!

Lots of people struggle with holiday stress – it’s as if there’s a national competition going on for who can be the most anxious person over the never-ending details of celebrating our winter holidays.  We start from the premise that perfection is possible (it’s not, no matter what the well-curated magazine covers portray).  The sooner we let go of that notion of the “perfect” holiday, the more breathing space we’ll make for ourselves and others with whom we share the season.
