Martine,
Thanks for sharing. I only wish I was this wise when I was younger. When I know better, I do better!

Such great points Tess! At the holidays, whenever complaining starts, I go do the holiday dishes! I’m always joined by one or two relatives that want to be in a positive, happy place! Works every time ~

Ollie,
Sometimes you need to do what you gotta do. I think if you thought you had to protect yourself you did the right thing. You can always love them from a distance!

I appreciate this list and realize I was not mature spiritually this holiday season — I made excuses and avoided my family entirely. When we are all together, someone always wants to drag up the past, and I feel too emotionally fragile right now to go through the usual. I will begin thinking words and thoughts of love before future family gatherings. Thank you

Tess…I keep coming back, coz just implementing 10% of what you share has made a dramatic difference in my life.

The relationship with my family is cordial at best, though I am grateful that I have one. I will make a conscious effort to follow several tidbits of advice for the short time spent with them over Christmas…after all the time is precious.

I love the fact that you can apply all these things year round…just like the humane society says “a puppy is not just for Christmas” so….

bless you

Tess, I've been so busy that I've not comment on many blogs recently, but I simply had to read and say something here. Those are lovely gift suggestions and I will certainly remember them as Christmas draws near. Thanks for the message of love! .-= Daphne @ Joyful Days´s last post...Can You Pack Your Life Into Two Suitcases? =-.

I liked the point: "Bless Everyone". It reminds us the importance of now. This moment, when those who love us unconditionally are with us and that is making this life significant for us. .-= Rohit Prakash´s last post...7 things I learnt lately =-.
