Hi Friends,

Hope your holiday season is festive and loving - and if not, how you can add more love to it? I just read a Facebook post of someone feeling lonely this year with adult kids going their separate way and a lot of the suggestions was showing your love: bringing joy to someone in a nursing home, serving food for charities, "adopting" a grandchild whose grandparents don't live in the area to go to their Christmas concerts and things. 

I am certainly blessed by having my grandson live with me right now, so I am cherishing this time. We went to Meijer Gardens for their Christmas Trees of different nations.(Pix by Brea Dargis) And today he got to see me sing and play bells in our Lessons and Carols at church.

And then this afternoon, I napped and will be resting when I can this week.

1. Plan a simple and meaningful holiday celebration.
2. Research and switch to eco-friendly household products.
3. Think about a "no-gift" holiday with friends or family for next year.
4. Attend a local winter market for handmade gifts.
5. Set realistic expectations for the holiday season.
6. Practice a mindful eating approach during festive gatherings.
7. Plan a technology-free day for quality time with loved ones.
